“In an era of rapid change and global interconnection, understanding and addressing the challenges of tomorrow has never been more urgent. The McCloy Fellowships on Global Trends are designed to empower young American and German professionals to dive deep into the critical issues that shape our world today – issues like national security, demographic changes, urbanization, energy and the environment, sustainability, technological innovation, public health, and global economic concerns such as inflation, trade, and supply chains.

“Fellows have the freedom to design their research programs, choose where to go and identify whom to engage with, allowing for an enriching experience that fosters cross-cultural dialogue and collaboration.

“Fellows receive a $7,000 stipend covering travel expenses (including transatlantic airfare and domestic travel) and room and board for at least 21 days. American Fellows travel to Germany, and German Fellows travel to the United States.”
