[Air-L] Three weeks left to apply for OII's Web Science Summer Doctoral Programme

[Victoria Nash]

Dear colleagues,

As February approaches there are just three weeks left for PhD students 
to apply for a place on this year's Oxford Internet Summer Doctoral 
Programme. The 2008 Programme will run from 13th-26th July and will 
focus on the theme of Web Science in collaboration with partners at the 
Web Science Research Initiative established by Sir Tim Berners Lee at 
the University of Southampton and MIT. We are also very grateful for 
the continued support of friends and colleagues at the Berkman Center 
for Internet and Society and the Annenberg Schools at USC and 
University of Pennsylvania who will provide faculty and/or fund some 
students.

We are particularly keen to attract excellent PhD students who are 
already embracing the challenges of undertaking multi- or 
cross-disciplinary work on issues relating to the Internet or Web. Up 
to 25 students will have the opportunity to advance their theses as 
well as participating in classes and seminars led by high-profile 
faculty from across the social sciences, computing sciences and 
engineering.

Further details can be found on the OII website at:

Please do pass this information on to your colleagues,
all best wishes
