The Clore Leadership Programme

An invitation to apply for a NESTA Fellowship on the Clore Leadership Programme

"How do you describe something that is liberating and focused, terrifying and nurturing, tailored and completely unstructured? Clore!"
2007/8 Clore Fellow

The Clore Leadership Programme is currently inviting applications for two NESTA Fellowships from individuals who are able to demonstrate achievement and/or potential in one or more of the following areas:

• Using technology to develop innovative business models for cultural organisations
• Sustainable convergence of media

The Fellowship Programme aims to shape emerging creative leaders from across the cultural sector through in-depth learning, tailored as far as possible to the needs, aspirations and circumstances of the individual Fellow.

The structure of the programme includes:

• residential courses
• an extended placement
• a short placement at NESTA
• original research
• individually-selected training, mentoring and coaching

Fellows also benefit from unparalleled access to senior cultural leaders and to extensive networks.

New developments to the Fellowships in 2010 include greater focus, with most Fellows able to complete the core of the Programme in a concentrated six-month period, plus an introductory two-week residential course. Fellows can choose to take a period of six months away from work and receive a bursary while doing their programme, or continue to be attached to their place of work, with their employer being compensated for the sustained periods when they're away.

The closing date for applications for the NESTA Fellowships is 16 March 2010 by 12 noon.

Please do feel free to circulate this e-flyer to your networks.
