Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE) offers fully funded, two-week programs for emerging leaders in Business, Law, Medical, Journalism, Clergy, and Design & Technology. This intensive fellowship examines how individual professionals in Nazi Germany leveraged their expertise to enable the regime – examining their decisions, motivations, and behavior – not just to study the past, but as a framework for understanding ethical responsibility today.
In an era of rapid technological change, polarization, and complex ethical challenges, the next generation of professionals needs more than technical expertise—they need moral courage. FASPE creates space for ethical reflection and intentional professional formation, preparing Fellows to navigate the ethical challenges that will characterize their careers, to make good use of their professional influence, and to become ethical leaders in their fields.
- Two weeks in Germany and Poland (Medical, Clergy & Religious Leaders, and Journalism program: June 19 – July 3, 2026)
- Daily seminars at sites of historic significance
- Interdisciplinary dialogue with Clergy & Religious Leaders and Medical fellows
- Led by expert faculty combining scholarship and practice
- Fellows join a lifetime network of 900+ ethical leaders across professions
- Fully funded —all costs covered including airfare, hotels, meals, and materials
