The UK MEET Fellowship begins with a residential training program in Accra, where fellows will interact with researchers in fields like artificial intelligence, climate change, and health technology. Program participants will gain practical skills in evaluating scientific and technological claims, verifying information, uncovering relevant data, and transforming complex developments into digestible stories for their audiences.\n\nAdditionally, the fellowship includes editorial clinics to assist fellows in refining their story concepts, strengthening their sources, and devising publication strategies for their proposed reports.
