This session will introduce the Resilient Global Digital Infrastructure (GDI) Fellowship, a regional initiative designed to strengthen digital resilience across the Caribbean.

The Fellowship builds a Caribbean-wide train-the-trainers network of emerging leaders, equipping participants with the skills to translate subsea cable resilience research into practical, locally grounded action before, during  and after disruptions.

Participants will benefit from a 12-week online programme featuring mentorship and collaboration, fostering innovation, leadership development and regional networking. The programme builds on the Foundation’s successful Youth Advisory Board model.

Successful applicants will also be invited to a culminating in-person workshop, applying their learning within national and regional contexts.

Programme Period: May 1, 2026 – December 31, 2026

This opportunity is open to UWI students, faculty and staff, recent graduates and alumni.

Be among 40 selected participants who will become GDI Resilience Fellows and take part in shaping a more resilient Caribbean digital future.
