Call for ICT Researchers - Submit Expression of Interest by 8 October 2007

Public Access ICT Landscape Study
Expression of Interest – Country research teams

The University of Washington Center for Internet Studies (CIS) is conducting a 
study of public access ICT environments in 25 countries. The research will 
include an examination of physical infrastructures (libraries, telecenters, 
kiosks, etc.), public access policies, stakeholder analyses (especially within 
government), and the information needs of disadvantaged communities, among 
others.

To implement this study, CIS is seeking qualified in-country research teams to 
conduct interviews, surveys and local language data analyses. The expected 
timeframe for the engagement is November 2007 through August 2008.

The final list of countries is still being determined, and one of the criteria 
is the availability of a local research team with the capacity to undertake 
this research.  For details of this request and list of countries, visit:

Interested parties should send a 1-page Expression of Interest in a Word or 
text file by October 8 to: ictstudy at u.washington.edu
