ITS Global Policy Fellowship Program â 2015
 http://www.itsrio.org/2015/02/04/its-global-policy-fellowship-program-2015/Â;
 Program overview: The Institute of Technology and Society (ITSrio.org)
invites researchers, graduate students as well as professionals working with
technology policy, to apply to its Global Policy Fellowship Program and spend
four weeks* in Brazil at ITS. Last year, we welcomed six fellows from all over
the world, who contributed immensely for the success of the Fellowship Program.
(See the list of our 2014 fellowsÂhere, and what they have to say about their
experiencesÂhere). Our Global Fellows will have the opportunity to work with
the team who created and developed the landmark âMarco Civilâ legislation, a
bill protecting fundamental rights, including privacy, net neutrality and
freedom of expression, approved as law in Brazil in April 2014. ITS will offer
the opportunity to work with research in the five broad areas, namely: ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ
Law, democracy and technology (dealing with topics such civic engagement,
online participation, and others); ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂAccess to technology, justice and
human rights (dealing with topics such as connectivity, accesibility, digital
divide and others) ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂInternet regulation and Internet governance; ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ
Privacy and data protection (dealing with topics such as big data,
anti-survailance, data protection and mass surveilance); ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂRethinking
culture, media and education (working with topics such as intelectual property,
digital entrepreneurship, art & technology, online teaching, and others). The
ITS Fellowship Program will offer the opportunity for those interested in
internet and technology policy to deepen their knowledge about the Brazilian
technology context. We have prepared an intensive 4-week* program for our
fellows, which include visits to the biggest technology national and
international companies operating in Brazil, the Brazilian Internet Steering
Committee (CGI.br) and visits to SÃo Paulo and BrasÃlia, including meetings
with representatives of the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Culture, and
Congress members who are advocating for policies related to internet and
technology. During their stay, selected fellows will be expected to: ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ
Present at least one public seminar, organized in partnership with ITS.
Suggested topics can include: broadband and access policy, content regulation,
copyright and creativity, consumer privacy, open government, government
surveillance, data security, data innovation, freedom of expression, democracy
and technology and human rights. ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂTo publish at least one article or
webpost about their experience as a fellow in Brazil. ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂTo collaborate
with the ITS team and its projects. Who should apply? We are looking for
students, researchers, and professionals who are following the debates in the
public policy field, and who want to spend part of their summer/winter in
Brazil, learning about Internet policy. People from all backgrounds are
