The Bergel Institute Fellowship

The Bergel Institute Fellowship

The Bergel Institute is now accepting applications for its inaugural fellowship program. The Institute is dedicated to advancing human knowledge and the human condition through research and project development in six core areas: Economics, Science, Technology, Consciousness, Health, and Culture.

The Institute seeks fellows who are ready to pursue substantive change—whether through detailed research, organizational development, or innovative projects that challenge accepted norms and test assumptions against evidence.

• Bringing an end to the poverty-violence connection in the US
• Building a fully resourced community
• Using AI to expand economic opportunity
• Cutting edge or pseudoscience?
