[menog] Google Policy Fellowship

[Fahd Batayneh]

Friends and Colleagues,

 

I would like to bring to your attention the "Google Policy Fellowship" at
http://www.google.com/policyfellowship/index.html.

 

 

We are now accepting applications for 2014 Fellowship in Asia and Europe. We
are no longer accepting applications for the 2014 fellowship in North
America and Latin America.

 

"The Google Policy Fellowship allowed me to explore my interests and
exercise my studies while working directly with dynamic leaders shaping the
policy space. The programming offered by Google not only informed me of the
major debates in technology policy, it also exposed me to a phenomenal
network of host organizations in Washington and around the globe. I
encourage you to seize this opportunity, and build your insight, experience,
and network."
-Marco De Leon (USHCC)

 

 


Program overview


 

The Google Policy Fellowship program was inspired by Google's Summer of Code
with a public policy twist. The Google Policy Fellowship program offers
undergraduate, graduate, and law students interested in Internet and
technology policy the opportunity to spend the summer contributing to the
public dialogue on these issues, and exploring future academic and
professional interests.

 

Fellows will have the opportunity to work at public interest organizations
at the forefront of debates on broadband and access policy, content
regulation, copyright and creativity, consumer privacy, open government,
government surveillance, data security, data innovation, free expression and
more. More information about the host organizations and the areas of focus
for the fellows is outlined here
<http://www.google.com/policyfellowship/hosts.html> .

 

Fellows will be assigned a lead mentor at their host organizations and will
have the opportunity to work with several senior staff members over the
course of the summer. Fellows will be expected to make substantive
contributions to the work of their organization, including conducting policy
research and analysis; drafting reports and analyses; attending government
and industry meetings and conferences; and participating in other advocacy
activities.

 

 


Who should apply? 


 

We're looking for students who are passionate about technology, and want to
spend the summer diving headfirst into Internet policy. Students from all
majors and degree programs who possess the following qualities are
encouraged to apply:

 

*	Demonstrated or stated commitment to Internet and technology policy 
*	Excellent academic record, professional/extracurricular/volunteer
activities, subject matter expertise 
*	First-rate analytical, communications, research, and writing skills 
*	Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and efficiently,
and to work smartly and resourcefully in a fast-paced environment 

 

Fellows will receive a stipend of USD 7,500 for 10-12 weeks in 2014. Exact
dates of the fellowship will be worked out by the fellow and host
organization and will be subject to the academic schedules in different
countries.

 

 

Thank you,

 

Fahd
