Institute for Open Leadership 2: Apply now

Earlier this year, Creative Commons and the Open Policy Network
<https://openpolicynetwork.org/> hosted the first Institute for Open
Leadership (IOL). The IOL is a training and support program to empower new
leaders interested in crafting and implementing an open licensing policy
within their discipline. We had a diverse cohort
<https://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/43566> of 14 fellows who came
together for a week <https://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/44900> in
January, 2015 in San Francisco. The fellows worked with mentors and each
other to hone their open policy project ideas. Since then they’ve working
within their institutions and fields to implement their open policy plan.

Today we’re opening the application period for the next round of the
institute. IOL 2 will take place March 14-18, 2016 in Cape Town, South
Africa.

Application instructions are on the Institute for Open Leadership webpage
<https://openpolicynetwork.org/iol/>. Applications are due October 30, 2015.
We will accept 15 IOL fellows.

We encourage applications from a variety of areas, including the public
sector, cultural heritage institutions, publishing, and scientific labs.
We’re interested in individuals who are eager to become experts in open
licensing, pursue new opportunities for open sharing of content and data,
and directly influence policy decisions in their institution and field of
work.

Thanks again to the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
<http://www.hewlett.org/> and the Open Society Foundations
<http://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/> for their support for the
Institute for Open Leadership.
