OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT LAW OR
PRIVACY LAW AND POLICY THIS SUMMER IN AMSTERDAM





We are happy to announce applications for Civil Society Scholarships
are now open for the International Copyright Law Summer Course and the
Privacy Law and Policy Summer Course organised by the Institute for
Information Law (IViR) at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). The
course will take place from 3-7 July 2017 in Amsterdam.



Additional information, including a link for online registration, is
available on the IViR website and the course flyer.



Civil Society Scholarships supported by the Open Society Foundations

IViR, in collaboration with the Open Society Foundations, invites
civil society advocates working in digital rights advocacy to apply to
the courses. Please note that this call does not target academics and
government officials.



Scholarships covering the Summer Course fee, as well as an adequate
contribution toward travel and accommodation costs are available for
eight civil society participants that will be able to make use of the
knowledge they would gain in these courses in their daily work.
Successful scholarship applicants from non-OECD countries will also
receive a per diem of 30 EUR for the duration of the summer course.



Scholarship recipients will be asked to produce a brief report at the
end of the course.



Application

If you wish to apply, please complete the online application form
available at the course website and indicate in the text box that you
are applying for the “OSF Civil Society Scholarship”. Please enter a
statement (approximately 500 words) in the text box explaining your
motivation for attending the summer course you are applying for and
how the course would benefit the work of your organization.



Deadline

Please apply as soon as possible but no later than April 28, 2017, if
you want to be considered for the Civil Society Scholarship.
Acceptance notifications will be sent during the course of May 2017.



We would appreciate it very much if you could distribute this
information widely in your professional networks and share it with
anyone who might be interested.



Yours faithfully,



Stef van Gompel & Kristina Irion
