Hi everyone,

The proposed schedule for the course is up now at
http://p2pu.org/general/node/26174/document/27453. The first meeting
is set to occur 19 April. Please direct any questions to Jonas or
myself. Sign-up will open at the end of March and I'll send another
reminder then.

Cheers,
Jane

>>
>> During the course of the project, you will also be assisted individually

>> your own, writing and researching your proposal. There is no financial cost

>>
>> Though only 15 participants will take the course this time around, the
>> entire course, material, and other information, including the proposals
>> which you write in the course, is open for anyone to follow on the P2PU
>> platform under a CC BY-SA license.

>> If you are interested in participating in the course, you can read more at

>> If you already have experience from applying or reviewing project

>> external reviewers, and you could form part of this team. Some students will

>> have experience from funding bodies within your area, you can contribute
>> with your experience to students with ideas matching those funding bodies.
>>
>> We look forward to hearing from you, and expect to have a very fun and

>> Commons is Jonas Öberg who can be reached at jonas AT ffkp.se. Jonas is a

>> with Creative Commons Sweden, as well as Finland, Norway, Denmark and
>> Iceland during evenings and nights.

>> Jonas and Julia Velkova at Internet Society Bulgaria will serve as expert
>> reviewers for proposals completed as part of the course. Jonas has worked as
>> a reviewer for the European Commission, as well as authored and co-authored
>> numerous proposals for the European Commission and several Nordic cultural
>> foundations. Julia has worked with and authored projects for the United
>> Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Open Society Institute, European
>> Commission and Internet Society in her work for the Internet Society
>> Bulgaria.
