Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that the application process for the OII's 6th Summer Doctoral programme is now open. Organised for the first time in collaboration with the Web Science Research Initiative <http://webscience.org> , the Programme (13th-26th July) will focus on themes around Web Science. Up to 25 places will be available to students at an advanced stage of their PhD research. In addition, thanks to a grant from the EPSRC, WSRI has a number of scholarships available for students at MIT, University of Southampton, University of Oxford and Harvard University which will support a three-month period of exchange activities on Web Science, beginning with the Summer Doctoral programme in Oxford. Further information on both Programmes can be found on our website at http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/teaching/sdp/Y2008.cfm Best wishes Vicki Nash Dr Victoria Nash Director of Graduate Studies Oxford Internet Institute 01865 287231 www.oii.ox.ac.uk
