Dear all,

Please feel free to circulate this freely:

Social Innovation in a Digital Context 2013

Social Innovation in a Digital Context (SIDC) is a one year academic
scholarship programme for social and digital innovators from the Middle
East, North Africa and South Asia. The programme is carried out in
cooperation with Lund University.

SIDC focuses on the relationship between digital technology and
socio-political change, and how change makers can harness this relationship
to build better societies. It contains both practical and theoretical
components and is designed to support social and digital innovators to
pursue work in the fields of digital technology, new media, and social and
political change.

The aim of the programme is for participants to develop creative and viable
individual projects that help strengthen human rights and democracy building
in their home countries, as well as boosting understanding of the use of
digital tools for sociopolitical change.

Who can apply?

Innovators from the Middle East, North Africa or South Asia that want to
engage in innovative project work can apply to SIDC. You should have an
existing outreach platform in your home country and want to bring a project
proposal from idea to reality or want to further develop an existing
project. The project should be directly connected to your home context and
be based on the work and movements that you're engaged in, as well as your
personal skills. It is important that the project is tied to
digitalization/digital technology to some extent.

For this year's programme we are particularly looking for applicants with
knowledge of and skills in computer technology and Internet security. You
might for example have a background in law, IT, entrepreneurship, sociology
or political science. The aim is to recruit individuals from a broad range
of disciplines, professions, and backgrounds and it is important that you
both have academic competence as well as practical skills.

Admitted applicants will be provided with free housing in student housing
complexes in Lund and granted a monthly stipend that covers meals and living
expenses.

SIDC suits innovators who intend to return home upon completion of the
programme and launch the projects they have developed in Sweden in their
home environments.
