A joint collaboration between the University of Chicago Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth and Career Advancement, the Climate Institute Fellows Program is an intensive experiential program based at Ahmedabad University. Participants will gain first-hand exposure to the unique challenges and opportunities India faces tackling climate change. Fellows will receive field-based training and curriculum delivered at the UChicago Delhi Center and Ahmedabad University’s Climate Institute, with the support of UChicago faculty and staff. Fellows have the opportunity for professional development and career training through research projects, seminars, workshops and a career trek. Additional opportunities for cultural exchange and exploration of India’s diverse cultural heritage sites are included!

Participating Fellows will begin the 3-week program in Delhi in July with seminars and lectures from experts in energy, climate and sustainable growth before traveling as a group to Ahmedabad University in Ahmedabad, India. The program resumes with 2 weeks of classroom curriculum and field-based study in climate and culture. Following this, students will end the program with a 3-day trek in Delhi with government, think tanks, and companies focused on climate and energy solutions.
