Our current programmes

Our Fellowship programmes are built around a comprehensive framework of universal themes, which cover every aspect of society. Within each theme, we offer a programme of Fellowships that addresses a particular topical issue or challenge in the UK. These programmes are refreshed every few years with guidance from sector experts on our Advisory Council and input from Fellows.

We also recognise our responsibility to the environment and our programmes are developed with this in mind. Read more about our environmental approach.
