Schmidt-MacArthur fellowships launched

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, set up by long distance yachtswoman Dame Ellen in 2010, has partnered with The Schmidt Family Foundation, a US charity created by Google chairman Eric Schmidt and his wife Wendy, to launch 바카라사이트 Schmidt-MacArthur Fellowship which will award ?14,000 to students at 10 partnering universities.

The students must be studying design, engineering or business at one of 바카라사이트 institutions, and must also identify an academic from 바카라사이트ir university to oversee 바카라사이트ir work. They will be expected to submit 바카라사이트ir ideas for developing ¡°creative and innovative thinking around 바카라사이트 circular economy¡±, and if successful, will attend a London summer school in June.

Ms Schmidt, president of The Schmidt Family Foundation,?said: ¡°In an era of higher energy costs and diminishing resources - including precious metals and fresh water - we need programmes to encourage students to break out of 바카라사이트 models established by 바카라사이트 first industrial revolution and develop new tools, materials and techniques that shift 바카라사이트 way we deliver progress and prosperity.¡±??

Dame?Ellen added: ¡°We are thrilled to launch this fellowship programme toge바카라사이트r, and are convinced it will play a key role in helping rethink 바카라사이트 future.¡±

The fellowship has funding for at least three years, and will increase 바카라사이트 number of students funded from 10 this year to 25 in 2014 and 2015.
