MANRS Fellows

You are here: Home / MANRS Ambassador Program / MANRS Fellows

Who is the MANRS Fellow?

The MANRS Fellow is an emerging leader in his/her community who strongly believes that routing security is an essential component for the future well-being of the Internet and is ready to contribute to its improvement. The Fellow is not necessarily a representative of a MANRS participant organization.

Applications for 2021 Fellowship Program are now closed.

The MANRS Fellowship Program offers highly motivated individuals an opportunity to be exposed to the mission and work of the MANRS initiative in international development. The Fellowship allows individuals to bring new perspectives, innovative ideas, and recent research experience into the MANRS work to improve routing security. Fellows work with Ambassadors – well respected routing security professionals – to improve their skills while working in a diverse environment.
