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 and also to work with the team who created and developed the landmark "Marco Civil" legislation. We have prepared an intensive 4-week* program for our fellows, which includes visits to the biggest technology national and international companies operating in Brazil, the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br <http://cgi.br/>) and visits to São Paulo and Brasília, including meetings with representatives of the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Culture, and Congress members who are advocating for policies related to internet and technology. More information available here <http://itsrio.org/en/2016/02/16/english-its-global-policy-fellowship-program...>. The Institute for Technology and Society invites researchers, graduate students as well as professionals working with technology policy, to apply to its Fellowship Program and spend four weeks in Brazil at ITS. Last year, we welcomed seven fellows from all over the world, who contributed immensely for the success of the Fellowship Program. Our Global Fellows will have the opportunity to work with the team who created 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.
