Dream Big. Think Bold. Let Your Ideas Take Flight.
Imagine a space where Fellows and Chairs meet not just to talk, but to spark ideas across disciplines. One, where conversations start with “What if…?” and end with “Why not?”
What Happens in Blue Sky?
Fellows choose a Chair who inspires them, not necessarily from their own field, because sometimes the best ideas come from unexpected places. Chairs, in turn, become partners in exploration. Together, they dive into big questions, share wisdom, and build something extraordinary.
And it doesn’t stop there. We love collaboration, so Fellows and Chairs can form small, cross-disciplinary groups. Picture lively discussions over coffee, brainstorming sessions that spill into lunch, and retreats where ideas bounce around like sparks.
Because mentorship at DIAS isn’t a checkbox - it’s the heartbeat of our community. It’s how we nurture creativity, foster excellence, and make sure every Fellow has the wings to fly.
