Call for the IAPP Westin Fellowship Program is now open!!
The IAPP Westin Fellowship Program was created in 2013 to encourage and enable research and scholarship in the field of privacy. As the IAPP has grown, so has our mission, which is to define, promote and improve the professions of privacy, AI governance and digital responsibility globally.
Applicants from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. Previous research, coursework or experience in privacy, AI governance, cybersecurity law, and digital law and policy is preferred.

- During the fellowship, most of the fellows time will be devoted to contributing substantively to the production of the research team, in collaboration with the publications team.
- The fellows will also present IAPP research, during in-person conferences or virtually.
- The fellows will contribute to the development and maintenance of resources in the IAPP Resource center and incorporate law student interns into research projects as appropriate.
- All work produced is expected to be of very high quality, appropriate for publication through professional or academic channels, as well as useful to practicing privacy professionals.
