*One week left to apply for CEU’s summer institute on internet governance,
civil society and communication policy advocacy*

Our 2015 summer institute will take place from 28 June to 4 July at Central
European University in Budapest. Application deadline is 15 March.

Workshops will explore how activists are campaigning for an open internet,
freedom of expression norms in different contexts around the world, the
current state of play surrounding internet governance, and the potential of
technology and online tools for mobilizing and organizing constituencies
and for enhancing the security and privacy of advocates. This year, special
attention will be paid to the relationship between the policies of internet
companies, violent extremism, surveillance, filtering, and content take
down requests by governments.

Organized by the Center for Media, Data and Society at the School of Public
Policy, Central European University <http://cmds.ceu.edu/> with the Center
for Global Communication Studies <http://www.global.asc.upenn.edu/> (CGCS),
Annenberg School, University of Pennsylvania, the week-long intensive is
designed to help researchers, activists, policy makers, lawyers and
advocates gain new insights into the complex relationship between
technology, free expression, and policy that lie at the heart of debates
between global security and human rights.

International, Center for Democracy and Technology, Open Society
Foundation, Tactical Technology Collective, Global Voices Online, Center
for Internet and Society, Hivos, International Center for Policy Advocacy,
