Affiliates should be committed to TRAILS’ mission and should have a track record of, or plan to, undertake work related to that mission in areas such as research, public policy, and journalism.
We welcome faculty, researchers and professionals from any institution to apply for affiliation. Affiliates are expected to attend at least two TRAILS events per year, read TRAILS newsletters and communications, and engage with TRAILS students and faculty. On the application form, you must list the name of the TRAILS faculty member who is nominating you for affiliation. Please discuss this nomination with them before applying. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
Student Affliates
TRAILS is happy to welcome student affiliates. The goal of student affiliation is to grow a research and development community devoted to trustworthy AI design, development, deployment, and oversight.

Student affiliates will be listed on the TRAILS website, will have access to shared TRAILS spaces within their own institution, and will be invited to TRAILS events that may not be open to the general public. Student affiliates may have opportunities to give talks at TRAILS events and on partner TRAILS campuses. We expect student affiliates to attend at least six TRAILS events per year, while volunteering to support at least two. Examples of TRAILS events include workshops, seminars, speaker series, the annual symposium, and social events.
