Description

The Office of Citizen Exchanges at the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) invites proposal submissions for the FY 2023 Young Transatlantic Innovation Leaders Initiative (YTILI) Fellowship Program. YTILI is a two-way exchange program for emerging entrepreneurs from Europe, ages 25-35, and American professionals. The program is designed to strengthen the transatlantic relationship, develop sustainable partnerships between U.S. and European innovators, promote regional integration and cooperation in Europe, and encourage European governments, businesses, and civil society to improve their innovation eco-systems. The FY 2023 program will support approximately 65 participants, including 50 European business and social entrepreneurs and 15 American business professionals. The defining YTILI program activity is a five-week U.S.-based fellowship for European participants including a four-week placement in a professionally relevant U.S. business and mentorship from American peers in those organizations. The U.S.-based exchange should also provide Fellows with opportunities to complement their professional fellowship through workshops, peer-to-peer learning, and networking activities. Following the U.S.-based program, American participants will travel to select European countries to assist YTILI Fellows implement business action plans and joint projects in their home communities. The YTILI Fellowship Program should also include follow-on alumni engagement activities. Only one proposal will be considered by ECA from each applicant organization. In cases where more than one submission from an applicant appears in grants.gov, ECA will only consider the submission made closest in time to the NOFO deadline; that submission would constitute the one and only proposal ECA would review from that applicant. Please see the full announcement for additional information.
