Subject: [liberationtech-jobs] (Brazil) Global Internet Policy Fellowship
Program
Rio Institute for Technology & Society (ITSrio.org)
Global Internet Policy Fellowship Program - July 2014
Program overview
The Rio Institute of Technology and Society (ITS) invites researchers, graduate
and undergraduate students, as well as professionals working with technology
policy to apply to its Global Policy Fellowship Program and spend three weeks
in Brazil at ITS.
ITS is a leading research institute in Brazil in technology policy, affiliated
with the Rio de Janeiro State University. More info at
www.itsrio.org<http://www.itsrio.org/>.
Our Global Fellows will have the unique opportunity to work with the team who
conceived and developed the landmark "Marco Civil" legislation, a bill
protecting fundamental rights, including privacy, net neutrality and freedom of
expression, approved as law in Brazil in April 2014.
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 prepared an intensive 3-week program for our fellows,
which include visits to the biggest technology companies operating in Brazil,
the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br) and visits to São Paulo and
Brasília, including representatives from the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of
Culture and Congressmen who are advocating for policies related to internet and
technology.
Fellows will also be expected to 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. Fellows will also have
the chance to participate in the preparations of one international seminar on
the topic of “democracy and technology” that ITS is organizing.
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. Students, researchers
and professionals from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. For the
selection processes, please send us:

profile and other online references you want us to consider;
