Training the Next Generation of Policy Staff 1889 Graduates

The Congressional Relation’s Foreign Policy Fellowship Program and the Science and Technology Innovation Program’s Technology Labs are six-week seminars combining expert discussion, hands-on exercises, and study trips designed to equip the next generation of Capitol Hill staffers with the very latest knowledge on the world’s most pressing foreign policy topics.

In October of 2022, the Wilson Center’s Foreign Policy Fellowship Program hosted a bipartisan and bicameral delegation of nine congressional staff to Canada and Iceland to explore hydro-energy, trade, renewable energy efforts and US Arctic strategy. The trip successfully connected congressional staffers with on-the-ground experts in Quebec who are actively working on climate security, clean energy and USCanadian relations.
