Introduction

Our Fellowship programmes are guided by Working Groups of subject specialists. They are led by members of our Advisory Council and supported by Fellows, and partner organisations. Each Working Group identifies a topical issue around which to focus a programme of Fellowships, and then supports its delivery and promotion. Members are available to help Fellows in that programme with advice and networking.

Our Technology Working Group has helped to design our current programme focused on Tech for all.
