Work Programme: The project will analyse, with special reference to 
developing
countries, how to preserve and implement development-appropriate

the international and national level, on the use of technological
measures and contractual mechanisms. The Fellow will be expected

analytical papers offering guidelines on policy questions and debates.

completion of their dissertation. In the latter case, a recommendation
from the primary Ph.D. advisor must accompany the application.
A résumé or curriculum vitae, and a sample of written work in the
subject area (Copyright, Access to Information, IP in the Digital
Domain) of the project.
