The Verita Fellows Program

Join the researchers asking the questions that matter.

“The most valuable thing an institution can produce is research that all parties can trust unconditionally. Fellows are the people who make that possible.”

The Verita brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners at the intersection of AI, enterprise, and policy. Whether you are an academic researcher, a visiting faculty member, or a senior practitioner — if you believe independent research is the most important contribution an institution can make, we want to hear from you.
