Power of Information Initiative

Since 2013, TWCF has provided nearly $12 million to support nearly twenty research projects worldwide which have used the concept of information to understand the world more fully. The concept of information offers a promising pathway for comprehending both micro- and macro-level phenomena—that is, phenomena from the quantum to the cosmological scales—within a single scientific concept. The purpose of the Templeton Independent Research Fellowship is to facilitate ongoing scientific research pertaining to the concept of information by exceptional early-career researchers who are likely to establish themselves as prominent researchers in their field. Following the success of the 2016 and 2017 rounds, TWCF will award up to three Fellowships in 2018. Each Fellowship will provide financial support of up to $110,000 per year for up to three years, tenable at any recognized university or research institution in the world.
