Fostering the next generation of AI policymakers.

  • "The placement I undertook as part of the fellowship has been an amazing opportunity, particularly because I did not have a track record in tech policy before. Through the fellowship, I got access to the AI policy field, where most open positions usually require several years of relevant experience."

    Niklas Clement, 2024 Talos Fellow

  • "Before the fellowship, I wasn’t quite sure how I fit into the AI policy space or the much-bemoaned ’Brussels bubble’. Now, I recently caught myself strolling past the Berlaymont, debating AI timelines and policies with some of the kind, brilliant people from my cohort – full of renewed optimism."

    Oona Lagercrantz, Trainee at European Parliament

  • "The Talos Fellowship opened doors for me in AI policy and taught me how EU institutions really work. The program gave me the support I needed to write my first AI policy brief, connecting me with relevant experts - something I didn't feel ready for before. Even though I'm from Brussels, it was only after attending the Brussels Summit that I started to understand how these institutions operate behind the scenes."

    Antoine Levie, European Commission

Talos Fellowship: Developing the Next Generation of AI Policy Talent.

The Talos Fellowship is our flagship programme aimed at launching and accelerating European policy careers focused on artificial intelligence. 

At the core of our programme is a focus on ensuring the safe and responsible deployment of advanced artificial intelligence and related technologies. Our fellows bring subject-matter expertise in these areas alongside a deep commitment to public service.

After completing the fellowship you'll join our extensive alumni network and play a pivotal role in steering the future of European AI policy. We anticipate our fellows will bring their expertise and dedication to prominent European institutions, contributing significantly to the governance of responsible and secure technology.
