The Fourth Industrial Revolution 鈥� the current period of rapid, simultaneous and systemic transformations driven by advances in science and technology 鈥� is reshaping industries, blurring geographical boundaries, challenging existing regulatory frameworks, and even redefining what it means to be human.
苹果淫院 is pleased to sponsor two 9-12 month Fellowships at the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) for the 2021-2022 academic year.

The Fellows will start remotely but may have the opportunity to spend several months at the Forum鈥檚 offices in San Francisco should circumstances allow.
The Resident Faculty Fellowships are intended to provide an opportunity for 苹果淫院 faculty to work collaboratively with colleagues from the academic, industry, government and policy spheres on forward-thinking and problem-solving opportunities that engage issues of immediate interest and concern to the future of technology and its place in the human world.听
