The Civic Innovation Fellowship (formerly Paris Summer Innovation Fellowship) is a two-week immersive program focused on empowering our next generation of city problem-solvers. What happens when 20 bright young minds are given 2 weeks of funding, tools, space and mentorship to start prototyping the change they want to see in their city? The Civic Innovation Fellowship (formerly Paris Summer Innova
tion Fellowship) is a two-week immersive program focused on empowering our next generation of city problem-solvers: data scientists, DIY urban designers and open street mappers. The fellowship covers a access to world-class mentors, co-working space, special tools, a financial stipend--no strings attached. Over a period of two weeks, this program will equip a small group of 20 creative and talented individuals to begin building solutions to the challenges facing Paris today. We welcome applicants of all ages, nationalities (this program is a weird mix of French & English) and all stripes: data science, hardware development, product strategy, data visualization, industrial design, GIS and beyond. Our most important criteria are curiousity, creativity, and a commitment to making a dent in the universe - even if it’s just one city and one summer at a time.
