Applications are now open for the first International School on Digital 
Transformation, to be held July 19-24, 2009, at the University of Porto 
in Porto, Portugal.

The International School on Digital Transformation will be an intensive 
six-day residential program, conducted in English and bringing together 
emerging and established scholars and professionals from around the 
world. During the week-long session, innovators in digital 
communications will serve as teachers and mentors, presenting their 
current projects and research and participating in discussions with 
advanced students and professionals beginning careers in the field. 
Presenters and students will be regarded as peers during the School.

The School will focus on these themes:

• Democratic transformations of society through digital media
• Innovations in transparency and political participation using new 
online tools
• Grassroots civic activities using digital technologies
• Building effective communities with the Internet
• Reaching out to new users with mobile and online technologies

The goals of the International School include:

practical experience, using accessible, low-cost digital technologies
     * Providing an informal venue for sharing expertise, perspectives, 
and best practices and for mentoring advanced students
     * Fostering a sustainable network of scholars and activists in the 
field of digital technology, communication and social change
