[Asis-l] FW: Apply Now! OII Summer Doctoral Programme: SDP2011

[Eric Meyer]

Hello everyone,

We are delighted to announce that the ninth Oxford Internet Institute (OII) Summer Doctoral Programme (SDP) will be held in Oxford from 11-22 July 2011.

Apply: http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/teaching/sdp/Y2011.cfm
Closing date: 21 February 2011

The annual Summer Doctoral Programme (SDP) is the highlight of the OII's year. It brings together doctoral students from around the world for a fortnight of study with leading academics in a multi-disciplinary environment that aims to provide constructive advice and support for students' doctoral thesis research. By sharing their work and learning from leading academics in the field, students can enhance the quality and significance of their thesis research and create a peer network of excellent young researchers. Launched in 2003, the Summer Doctoral Programme has enjoyed three overseas stints so far (Beijing 2005, Boston 2007, and Brisbane 2009) and has already gathered an impressive group of alumni.

Up to 27 places are available, awarded on a competitive basis. Preference will be given to students at an advanced stage of their doctorate who have embarked on writing their thesis.
