The Chevening Clore Fellowship program covers the full funding of travel, accommodation, feeding, living, and other related expenses throughout the duration of the program.
The Chevening Clore Leadership Fellowship is a partnership between the UK Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office and Clore Leadership, offering mid-career professionals in the arts and culture sector an exceptional opportunity to undertake an individually tailored leadership program in the UK.
The Chevening Clore Fellowship Program brings together some of the most creative and dynamic cultural leaders in the UK and internationally for an intense personal and professional learning experience unlike any other. Clore Leadership Fellowship will support you to be the leader you have the potential to be, through in-depth learning, tailored to your individual needs, aspirations, and circumstances.
The fellowship will run from September 2024 – May 2025 with a loose framework designed to boost the development of exceptional cultural leaders at a pivotal point in their careers. It is adaptive and self-guided, so you’ll need to be highly motivated and deeply curious.
