Established in 2018, the André Hoffmann Fellowship offers early-career academics a unique opportunity to contribute research-based insights to today's most pressing nature and climate challenges.
The programme is designed to bridge the gap between the academic world and the network of public, private and philanthropic leaders convened by the World Economic Forum. Through a joint appointment between the Forum and leading academic institutions, fellows bring critical insights to the Forum's multistakeholder platforms and communities, influencing agendas on global issues.
The Fellowship serves as a testbed for innovative research and thinking, empowering fellows to play an active role in shaping the world of tomorrow.

Fellows leverage the World Economic Forum's network to communicate their research findings to public, private and philanthropic leaders.

The programme supports the development of cutting-edge, science-driven solutions to global and emerging challenges.

By supporting early-stage research, the programme lays a strong foundation for unlocking strategic partnerships and securing additional funding.
