Reuters Digital Vision Fellowship Programme
For social entrepreneurs using technology...
Deadline: April 3 2006
The Digital Vision Program supports social entrepreneurs who seek to
leverage technology-based solutions in the interest of humanitarian,
educational, and sustainable development goals. The programme fosters
interdisciplinary projects and prototyping efforts that aim to
address real needs in underserved communities. For the 2006-07
academic year, the programme will focus on the following broad
categories:
* Advancing Financial Services (Micro-finance, micro-insurance,
remittances, market information, e-commerce).
* Knowledge and Empowerment (Literacy and numeracy, e-learning
and training, e-government, social networks, and community building).
* Networked Health and Welfare (Health administration, health
research and sciences, public health and safety, telemedicine, relief
services, advocacy)
The nine-month fellowship will bring individuals from around the
world to the Stanford University Campus in the U.S.A. Digital Vision
Fellows collaborate with faculty, students, private sector firms,
non-government organisations, and each other. Digital Vision Fellows
have Visiting Scholar privileges at Stanford University, including
the ability to audit courses. Fellows also participate in a
structured Sanford Digital Vision Program with weekly meetings,
workshops, and seminars.
The Reuters Foundation and other programme partners will award
approximately a dozen full-time fellowships, covering all Stanford
University fees and expenses. Living stipends may be available for
fellows accepted from developing world countries. The Digital Vision
Program also offers "Corporate Fellowships" to individuals from
organisations who continue to perform their full-time professional
duties in their organisations, while participating in the seminars,
workshops and other organised activities.
Applicants must have at least five years of full-time professional
experience working with information and communications technologies,
and have an in-depth knowledge of, and interest in, the latest
information and communications technology applications and their
implementation in the developing world.
