Fellowship Program

The APRICOT Fellowship Programme supports attendance at APRICOT by key participants from developing countries, who may otherwise not be able to attend. It provides part funding and free registration for selected applicants, who are encouraged to participate fully in APRICOT workshops, tutorials and conference sessions.

The fellowship membes will be provided with reasonable (local host standard) food, accommodation, allowance and complimentary attendance to the conference, tutorials, and all social events.

There will be Fellowship for Thais please CLICK HERE.

The APRICOT 2002 Fellowship Committee will select fellowship members according to the following criteria. The criteria are designed to provide support to those applicants with the most potential to benefit, as well as fairness and transparency in the selection process.

Candidates are sought from developing countries, who play any of the following roles in their countries:

•  Network builders (designers, engineers and support staff)
•  Internet educators (teachers and lecturers at secondary and tertiary levels)
•  Top decision makers in Government, education, NGO and commercial sectors

While it is expected that the majority of candidates will be selected from the Asia Pacific region, candidates from other regions may also apply.

The Fellowship Committee will favour candidates who demonstrate their potential to benefit by participating in APRICOT 2002. It is expected that successful candidates will contribute to APRICOT in the future as participants, presenters or trainers; and also by nominating suitable applicants for the Fellowship Programme in future years.

If you want to be supported by our program, please provide details as required in the application form and send it to APRICOT2002 Committee at fellowcom@apricot2002.net
