[Vicki Nash]

The OII is delighted to announce that due to extra support provided by
the Open Society Institute Information Programme, up to 4 further
scholarships are available for students attending the 2004 OII Summer
Doctoral Programme. This brings the total number of possible bursaries
up to 11. The OSI scholarships will cover full course fees and will be
available to students from Central Eastern and South Eastern Europe,
former Soviet Union states, Africa and Southeast Asia, although students
from other less affluent countries may also be considered. The research
projects of the supported candidates should focus on issues of
communications infrastructure policy, civil liberties in the digital
environment, intellectual property rights and the public domain, or ICT
global governance. 

The OII Summer Doctoral Programme is open to all current and prospective
PhD students working in the field of Internet Studies. The Programme
will run from 14th to 31st July and up to 25 places are available.
