The Information Society Innovation Fund (ISIF) Award 2011 seeks to acknowledge the important contributions ICT innovators have made with creative solutions to the social and economic development of the Asia Pacific (AP) region. With this award, ISIF aims to summarize the last three years' cycle of projects before it launches a revised framework for the provision of small grants in 2012. The new framework will focus on issues pertaining to the future of the Internet in the region.
As the ISIF Secretariat, APNIC invites those who have made a significant contribution to the role of the Internet in social and economic development within their local communities to apply for this award. ISIF will accept nominations for projects developed since 2008 that address one or more of the following categories:
- Innovation and access provision
- Localization and capacity building
- Mobile services and applications
- Rights and freedom
The award package comprises a cash prize of AUD 7,500 to support the continuation of the project or organization conducting the activities and a travel grant for a project representative to participate at the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Nairobi, Kenya. Any initiative developed since 2008 that has significantly contributed to the role of the Internet in social and economic development may be nominated for the ISIF Award 2011.
Nominations are open until 5 August 2011.
