The Vera and Donald Blinken Open Society Archives (Blinken osA), one of the initiators of the open Access movement intends to award a fellowship each year to promising young technology expert, scholar or activist working at the intersection of humanities, social sciences and technology studies or technological solutions. The fellowship is especially intended for those, with or without degree, who have strong practical skills in developing technological tools to make knowledge and data broadly available to the public; who have an interest in challenging information management practices in libraries and archives; who are ready to contribute to building innovative visual taxonomies or catalogs based on unorthodox ideas; and who can challenge the control of information by governments and publishers to promote civil liberties and online activism.

Recipients will be supported for 3 months, starting (if possible) as early as september 1, 2016 or the latest January 1, 2017. Fellows will conduct their research at the Blinken osA during this time on their research topic that will combine technology, humanities and social science perspectives.
