## About

The IO Foundation, is seeking passionate and dedicated individuals to join our cohort of Fellows for the upcoming [Internet Engineering Task Force meeting (IETF 125)](/activities/current-season/season-2026/03-march/ietf-ietf-125.md), to be held in Shenzhen (China) from 14th to 20th March 2026.

{% hint style="warning" %}

## NOTICE

Please note that the **\[#TIOF] TU Fellowship IETF 2026** will run on slightly different dates than IETF 125.

Check the [Timeline](#timeline) below for more details.
{% endhint %}

IETF meetings are a major, week-long gathering of Internet experts that happens three times a year, where volunteers from around the world collaborate in technical working groups to develop and advance open internet standards ([RFCs](https://www.ietf.org/process/rfcs/)) that keep the Internet running and improving. These meetings include intense technical sessions, a hackathon, training for new participants and opportunities for new members to learn, with a focus on `rough consensus and running code` to build the Internet's technical foundation.

The Fellowship will include:

* **Four preparation sessions (see** [#timeline](#timeline "mention")**)**
* **A Training Bytes session:** [**\[#TIOF\] Training Bytes 2026-03-13 SHENZHEN**](/activities/current-season/season-2026/03-march/tiof-training-bytes-2026-03-13-shenzhen-1.md)
* **Attendance at the IETF 125 Hackathon and Meeting, which will be conducted from Saturday 14th to Friday 20th March 2026.**

### Why join this Fellowship?

TIOF Fellows represent The IO Foundation on an international stage while contributing to advancing the Data-Centric Digital Rights (DCDR) advocacy by actively engaging in Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs) with their communities and the technical standards they produce.

As a Fellow, you'll be a member of a growing network of technologists working towards ensuring that technology protects citizens by design.
