The Open Society Institute (OSI) recently launched a new fellowship program to support outstanding idea entrepreneurs from around the world. The Open Society Fellowship will enable innovative professionals — including journalists, activists, scholars, and practitioners — to work on projects that inspire meaningful public debate, shape public policy, and generate intellectual ferment within OSI.

The fellowship focuses on four areas: National Security and the Open Society; Citizenship, Membership and Marginalization; Strategies and Tools for Advocacy and Citizen Engagement; and Understanding Authoritarianism. Fellows' projects may include books, articles, documentary films, online media, and efforts to seed new campaigns and organizations.
