Ähnlich dem „Summer of Code“ vergibt Google nun „Policy Fellowships“. Und das klingt spannend: Für 10 Wochen Mitarbeit bei Organisationen wie der EFF oder Public Knowledge erhalten Stipendiaten erstmal 7000$ und dazu spannende Aufgaben bei den Organisationen rund um netzpolitische Themen. Tolles Projekt.
Fellows will be assigned a lead mentor at their host organizations, but will have the opportunity to work with several senior staff members over the course of the summer. Fellows will be expected to make substantive contributions to the work of their organization, including conducting policy research and analysis; drafting reports and analyses; attending government and industry meetings and conferences; and participating in other advocacy activities.
