Fellowship Program

Philippines Technology Policy (PTP) Fellowship

The Philippines Technology Policy (PTP) fellowship program is a 9-month remote, research-focused fellowship for Filipino nationals.

The program supports research on the development of a legal and policy framework for successful U.S.- Philippines cooperation in the semiconductor sector.

The fellowship program will engage researchers on topical discussions related to intellectual property protection, advancing enforcement capabilities, and ensuring compliance with international trade norms.

The fellows will work with global mentors and access ongoing opportunities for professional growth in semiconductor technologies.

Fellows will engage in independent, in-depth research on an area of semiconductor policy and receive mentorship from our policy experts. Hailing from a diverse array of professional and academic backgrounds, fellows will focus their research on policy recommendations for Philippines on a range of issues, including implementation practices and mitigation measures, with the aim to protect semiconductor and other technology from diversion and misuse.

This project is supported by the U.S. Department of State
