2021 Annual Research Report

In 2021, E4C led our largest Fellowship cohort ever: 50 Fellows from all over the globe. This year, the Autodesk Foundation collaborated with E4C to sponsor 24 of these Fellows, matching them with specific needs and practical design projects from the Autodesk Foundation’s portfolio of nonprofits and startups. These savvy early-career designers and engineers from all over the world drew on their experience and expertise in Autodesk technology to provide tangible impact for their partner organizations. Projects included development or improvement of products, advancement of workflows in organizational design and Autodesk technology and targeted research.

In 2022, the Autodesk Foundation and E4C are collaborating again to provide grantees the opportunity to receive targeted technical support while simultaneously growing the human infrastructure and local capacity of the next generations of technical professionals.
