The Aula Fellowship

Our mission is to ensure that everyone can access the conversation on how AI is being implemented in society.

Fellows speak for themselves and have absolute independence over their work, and don’t speak on behalf of one another. What unites us is our shared mission.

We are a think-tank and non-profit NGO. We work as a collective of specialists.

A broad selection of our collected works are presented on our Works & News page.


Research programs in engineering education, institutionalism, management, politics, governance, tech, and international cooperation. Open to researchers from all disciplines and skillsets. All types of research are conducted by our Fellows and the Fellowship. We work together on trade, journalistic, legal, policy, academic, etc.

Fellows share opportunities for professional development and collaborate to ensure that our communities as specialists and as people can connect to each other, and make decisions together about AI in society.

Please get in touch if you want to collaborate on a specific project with several Fellows. Otherwise, reach out to specific Fellows.

Fellows work with individuals, communities, and institutions who are trying to make sense of what AI means for their work, their people, their missions, and their futures. We’re not here to simplify AI or sell you a solution. We create space for the conversations, and we do it for our Mission.

  • Presentation and events, conference curation.
  • Community and governance support.
  • Mediation and arbitrage, including negotiations and forensics (select topics).
