Applications are open to apply for the TED Fellows Program at the TED2013 Conference. The conference will be held in Long Beach, California. The program is looking for the next generation of innovators who have demonstrated remarkable accomplishment and outstanding potential to positively affect the world.
Applicants of ages 21-40 from five target regions: Africa, Asia/Pacific, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East are specifically sought by the program. But anyone over the age 18 from any part of the world can apply.
To apply for the TED Fellows, an application form has to be filled. In addition to basic details and contact information, the application asks applicants to answer essay questions and provide three references. Applications must be received complete and on time to be considered.
TED Fellows are selected by the program staff.
Once a year, an international selection committee meets to select the TED Senior Fellows for the following year.
The selection committee is comprised of people who represent the breadth of interest and achievement that makes up the TED community. Committee members bring experiences from various fields and come from countries representing our target regions. Selections are made by the group as a whole, not by individuals.
The closing date for TED 2013 Fellows Program is 13 July 2012. For more information, visit this link.
