The U.S. Department of State hosted 50 promising Quad scholars at the second Quad Fellowship Summit in Washington, D.C in October 2024. Quad Fellows met with private sector and Quad government representatives to discuss scientific and technological developments in the Indo-Pacific. Quad Fellows also engaged with science and technology specialists working in the U.S. government to explore leveraging STEM research to deliver tangible benefits to the Indo Pacific region.
