Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity


Challenging inequality requires courage, compassion, commitment and knowledge 

Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity is committed, as a programme, to drawing on and bringing together the insights of academic research, innovative social change strategies, and our Fellows’ own broad and rich expertise.

Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity, housed at the LSE International Inequalities Institute, is an innovative fully-funded fellowship that brings together policy-makers, activists, practitioners, artists, and movement-builders from around the world to explore and challenge the root causes of inequality. It is a transformative community that is working toward just and equitable alternatives to today's deeply unjust and unequal world. 

There are two tracks in our fellowship: Residential and Non-Residential. Members of the Residential track undertake the MSc in Inequalities and Social Science at LSE during their active fellowship year, while Non-Residential Fellows undertake a Postgraduate Certificate in Social and Economic Equity.

The Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme is supported by The Atlantic Philanthropies via a £64 million, 20-year grant aimed at building a catalytic community of 400 fellows. It is one of seven Atlantic Fellowships worldwide working to create a global community to advance fairer, healthier and more inclusive societies. 

Applications for the 2025-26 Cohort will open in Autumn 2024.
