Dear colleagues, The deadline is approaching for this year's Oxford Internet Institute Summer Doctoral Programme to be held in Brisbane with the Creative Industries Faculty at QUT from 6th-17th July. The theme for this year's Programme will be 'Creativity, Innovation and the Internet'. Please note that new scholarship funding is now available: it will cover one full or two half scholarships (fees only) and will be awarded to support doctoral students who would not otherwise be able to attend. We're also delighted to announce that programme tutors will include Nancy Baym, Stuart Cunningham, Jack Linchuan Qiu, Brian Fitzgerald and Axel Bruns. Together with other participating tutors, these faculty members will lead a programme that will cover topics such as the growth and implications of user-generated content, citizen media and community journalism, and regulatory barriers to innovation online. The full list of tutors includes faculty from the OII and the Berkman Center, who have taught on the Programme since its establishment in 2003, and is still being updated. The application process closes on Monday 16 February 2009: http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/teaching/sdp/Y2009.cfm Please do pass on this information to any students who might be interested. Best wishes, Dr Victoria Nash Director of Graduate Studies Oxford Internet Institute 01865 287231 www.oii.ox.ac.uk
