FYI

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Amy Mahan Research Fellowship
Program to Assess the Impact of Public Access to ICTs.

Up to 12 Research Fellowships will be awarded, each providing a grant of up
to 22,000  and specialized guidance to enable emerging scholars to carry
out their own new and original research study examining the impact of public
access to information and communication technologies (ICT)..

Emerging developing country researchers from Africa, the Middle East, the
Asia Pacific region and Latin America and the Caribbean are invited to apply
for a Fellowship. They may submit their application and conduct their
research in English, French, Portuguese or Spanish. The deadline for
applying is Midnight Eastern Standard Time, 31 December 2009.

The Program is an eighteen-months project sponsored by Canada's
International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and managed by Universitat
Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain, in collaboration with scholars from
Undersidad de San Andres, Argentina and the University of the Philippines.

Detailed information is available at www.upf.edu/amymahan/. The Frequently
Asked Questions section is comprehensive and a good starting place to learn
more about the Program.

Until her passing on 5 March 2009, Amy Mahan was active in ICT for
Development as a researcher and an activist. The Amy Mahan Research
Fellowship Program is one of three important initiatives honoring our friend
and colleague, Amy Mahan. The other two are:
