*Program overview *
The Institute of Technology and Society (ITS) invites researchers, graduate
and undergraduate students, as well as professionals working with
technology policy to apply to its Global Policy Fellowship Program and
spend three weeks in Brazil at ITS.

Our Global Fellows will have the unique opportunity to work with the team
who conceived and developed the landmark “Marco Civil” legislation, a bill
protecting fundamental rights, including privacy, net neutrality and
freedom of expression, approved as law in Brazil in April 2014.

The ITS Fellowship Program will offer the opportunity for those interested
in internet and technology policy to deepen their knowledge about the
Brazilian technology context. We prepared an intensive 3-week program for
our fellows, which include visits to the biggest technology companies
operating in Brazil, the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br) and
visits to São Paulo and Brasília, including representatives from the
Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Culture and Congressmen who are advocating
for policies related to internet and technology.

Fellows will also be expected to present at least one public seminar,
organized in partnership with ITS. Suggested topics can include: broadband
and access policy, content regulation, copyright and creativity, consumer
privacy, open government, government surveillance, data security, data
innovation, freedom of expression, democracy and technology and human
rights. Fellows will also have the chance to participate in the
preparations of one international seminar on the topic of “democracy and
technology” that ITS is organizing.
