Bertelsmann Foundation Fellowship Class of 2025 (Funded)

The 2025 Bertelsmann Foundation Fellowship will bring together individuals from European Union Member States, European Union Institutions, United States Government, and the transatlantic private sector for a span of five months to discuss the geopolitics of space and to discuss the pivotal juncture the transatlantic alliance finds itself, balancing cooperation and competition in space exploration. The program itself will focus on EU-US Space Cooperation, regulatory alignment and industrial competitiveness.

The program brings together fellows to engage with diverse, high-level stakeholders on critical topics. Participants will meet government officials, industry leaders, civil society, academics, community leaders, and experts. The Bertelsmann Foundation will select six public sector fellows, equally split between the U.S. and Europe, and four private sector participants from both sides of the Atlantic. Through these discussions, fellows will gain deep insights into key issues and build transatlantic connections across sectors for meaningful collaboration.
