Do you have an idea to improve responsible manufacturing and reduce e-waste? Have you started iterating on a blockchain solution? Are you ready to quit your day job to work on Internet of Things privacy and security full-time?
Then apply now for a coveted Shuttleworth Foundation Fellowship, which funds people who re-imagine the world with the values of Free and Open Source Software in education, philanthropy, hardware, and social development.
The Shuttleworth Foundation will pay you to focus on your solution full-time. Even better, they’ll multiply the money you put into your project by a factor of ten or more.
You’ll join people like these working on solutions to the world’s most pressing problems, using innovative information and communication technology.
