Summer Doctoral Programme 2010
University of Oxford, UK

Scholarship / Financial aid: additional funding may be available

Date: 5-16 July 2010

Deadline: 22 February 2010

Open to: advanced doctoral students engaged in dissertation research relating to the Internet

Announcement follows

We are delighted to announce that the eighth Oxford Internet Institute (OII) Summer Doctoral Programme (SDP) will be held in Oxford from 5-16 July 2010.

Academic programme
The aim of the programme is to bring together advanced doctoral students engaged in dissertation research relating to the Internet and other ICTs. 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.

The 2010 Summer Doctoral Programme will draw substantially upon the OII's research strengths and will involve participation from many of our faculty, together with colleagues from other partner institutions. It will emphasise methodological innovation and good practice in research design, and will expose students to the benefits of discussing their research in a multi-disciplinary teaching environment.

Research areas
We welcome applications from advanced doctoral students in any discipline whose work in the field of Internet research engages with the OII's research priorities of Everyday life, Governance and democracy, Science and Learning and Shaping the Internet. Reflecting the disciplinary base of the OII, most of the seminars will draw on Internet-related research in the social sciences, but some may also cover aspects of the department's projects in the humanities and computer science.

Fees and scholarships
The course cost of £1550 covers accommodation at Lady Margaret Hall from 4-16 July inclusive, and all course tuition fees. Travel to and from Oxford is not included in this fee. Lunch will be provided on week days at the OII, and several dinners and social events are also included.

We are currently looking for additional funding to provide support for student scholarships. Further information will be made available as such support is confirmed. Please note that students do not need to make a request for a scholarship at the application stage as this will be dealt with once the selection process has been completed.
