The Oxford Internet Institute is looking for civil society activists from the developing world to participate in their new Civil Society Practitioners Programme:
This visitor programme is intended for Civil Society Practitioners of distinction or outstanding promise who wish to visit the Institute for a period of six weeks between February and December 2008, to undertake research concerning the social impact of the Internet and related ICTs. Visitors are expected to reside in Oxford during their stay, and to participate fully in the intellectual life of the Institute.
Program participants receive a subsistence allowance of 3800 GBP (7500 USD) to cover research expenses and living costs during their stay in Oxford and a travel grant of up to 1000 GBP (2000 USD) for travel to and from the UK. Applications should be submitted by "Civil Society Practitioners in or from the global South," active in the areas of freedom of expression, media reform, media justice, and communications and information policy.
