Google is now accepting applications for the Google
Fellowships (Internet Policy) in Africa, Europe, Latin America and North
America.
The Google Policy Fellowship program was inspired by
Google’s Summer of Code with a public policy twist.
The Google Policy Fellowship program offers undergraduate,
graduate, and law students interested in Internet and technology policy the
opportunity to spend the summer contributing to the public dialogue on these
issues, and exploring future academic and professional interests.
Fellows will have the opportunity to work at public interest
organizations at the forefront of debates on broadband and access policy,
content regulation, copyright and trademark reform, consumer privacy, open
government, and more.
Fellows will be assigned a lead mentor at their host
organizations, but will have the opportunity to work with several senior staff
members over the course of the summer.
Fellows will be expected to make substantive contributions
to the work of their organization, including conducting policy research and
analysis; drafting reports and analyses; attending government and industry
meetings and conferences; and participating in other advocacy activities.
