| Application |
The programme application consists of a personal information form, statement of interest, case study and two letters of recommendation. To apply, download the Word document above, complete it, and send it and your recommendations to us as email attachments. Two recommendations are also required as part of the application process, which should also be submitted via email. Applications will be accepted until June 16. Applicants will be considered from:
| Albania | Hungary | Romania |
| Belarus | Kosovo | Serbia & Montenegro |
| Bosnia-Herzegovina | Latvia | Slovakia |
| Bulgaria | Lithuania | Slovenia |
| Croatia | Macedonia | Turkey |
| Czech Republic | Moldova | Ukraine |
| Estonia | Poland |
In addition, applicants from the Caucasus and Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
In choosing which applicants are most suitable for the program, an informal selection committee composed of staff from Stanhope Centre, Open Society Institute (OSI), Markle Foundation, Global Internet Policy Initiative (GIPI), and the Media Lawyers' Association will decide on which students will be selected for admission. In selecting applicants, the selection committee will look for students with a legal background and/or policy understanding of the issues.
Preference will be given to non-profit ISPs representing the interests of civil society, the non-profit sector and academia. Applications are sought from advocates (practicing lawyers and students), policymakers and other professionals who show a strong demonstrable interest in public interest advocacy of the ICT sector. Applicants must convey how their background (academic and professional) relates to ICT policy advocacy and why they want to receive policy training in this sector. Applications will be judged on how applicants convey their motivation, future plans and overall interest in ICT policy advocacy.
Again, applications, including the completed form and two recommendations, must be received by June 16.
If you have additional questions, contact Susan Abbott at the Stanhope Centre.
