LUNE THREE- Shaping AI from African Contexts Fellowship 2026

The LUNE 3: Shaping AI from African Contexts Fellowship is an intensive 10‑week programme for Nigerian graduate and doctoral researchers working at the intersections of AI, humanities, and the social sciences. It is designed for researchers who want to interrogate and reshape AI through African histories, epistemologies, and lived realities, contributing to global AI futures.

Fellows will build critical analytical skills, foundational technical literacy, and practice‑based experience to become scholar‑practitioners who can research, critique, and collaboratively shape AI technologies in African institutions and communities.
