Future Knowledge Fellowship Program

The Future Knowledge Fellowship Program builds on the success of the Wikipedian-in-Residence Program, which ran from its inception in 2014 until late 2025—broadening its scope to explore new platforms and knowledge structures including Wikipedia and well beyond, and continuing the Wikipedian-in-Residence program’s positive legacy and emphasis on collaboration and partnership. You can learn about this legacy here and at the Wikipedian-in-Residence page.
