Dear colleagues, (apologies for cross-posting)
It is a great pleasure to announce the first
CyberBRICS Fellowship Programme to be hosted at FGV Law School, Rio de Janeiro.
The programme will offer
five remunerated fellowships, from February to July 2019, at FGV DIREITO RIO, to support selected scholars having relevant experience in
data protection and cybersecurity frameworks in at least one of the BRICS countries.
The full Call for Applications is available at
https://internet-governance.fgv.br/call-applications-cyberbrics-fellowship-programme
The CyberBRICS Project is the result of 2 years of consultations with a wide range of partners and stakeholders, including
a dedicated IGF workshop, in 2017; consultations with the Brazilian Foreign Affairs Ministry, the China International Publishing Group and the Open Society Foundations; and extensive exchanges with
CyberBRICS partners.*
The CyberBRICS fellows will be selected by a commission formed by Prof Luca Belli, from FGV DIREITO RIO (Brazil), Prof Alexey Ivanov, from the Higher School of Economics
(Russia), Ms Elonnai Hickok, from the Centre for Internet and Society (India), Prof Shen Yi, from Fudan University (China), and Prof Alison Gillwald, from the Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance University of Cape Town (South Africa).
Over a six month period, selected fellows will receive a monthly salary comprised
between USD 2.200 and 2.500 (see item 5 of the Call) and will be expected to be
based in Rio de Janeiro, where they will have a dedicated office within the FGV main building, in 190 praia de Botafogo.
Besides the fellowship programme, we are also building a
Network of CyberBRICS Associated Scholars, allowing scholars interested in CyberBRICS activities and having relevant experience in the fields explored by the project to cooperate with us. Should you be interested in this latter opportunity, please feel
free to send me a personal email.
Please feel free to share this message thought your networks.
Kind regards
Luca
