Bloomberg Public Innovation Fellowship

Translating Practice Into Knowledge for Cities and Residents

The Bloomberg Public Innovation Fellowship offers accomplished public innovation practitioners from across the globe a one- or two-year Fellowship at the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. This Fellowship offers local government leaders the time and resources to reflect on their experience working in and alongside city halls in an academic setting; broaden their sphere of knowledge and create new insights about the field of public innovation; and influence how residents experience local government. Based at the School of Government and Policy at Johns Hopkins, the Fellowship also facilitates engagements with faculty, students, and other partners.
