FASPE FELLOWSHIP

Application Deadline: January 3, 2027

 

FASPE (Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics) is now accepting applications for its 2027 Design & Technology program.  
 
FASPE Design & Technology is a fully-funded, two-week fellowship program in professional ethics and ethical leadership that begins by examining the actions and choices of German designers and technologists in enabling Nazi policies. It then draws on this historical example to help Design & Technology Fellows both grapple with their role and responsibility as designers of built environments and strategize ways to confront the ethical issues currently facing architects, engineers, designers, and other technologists today. The program takes place in Germany and Poland at sites of historical significance, allowing Fellows to benefit from immersive, contextual learning.
 
DETAILS:

Program Dates: Friday, May 28 - Friday, June 11, 2027.

Fully-funded: All program costs are covered, including travel, lodging, and food. 

Interdisciplinary: FASPE Design & Technology Fellows travel and share some seminars with Fellows in the FASPE Business and Law programs.

Itinerary: Fellows will travel to Berlin, Krakow, and Oswiecim (the location of the former Nazi extermination camp of Auschwitz). 

For last year’s schedule as an example, please see here.
