Dear ISIF Asia current and former grant recipients and award winners,

Very happy to let you know that the call for the 2017 grants and award opened today, and it will be open until 30 August. Your help to promote it as widely as possible is greatly appreciated. For this year, we have 145K AUD for 3 grant categories and 10k AUD for one award. I really hope that you review the categories and consider to submit your application.

2017 Grants

1) Internet Operations Research Grants: research focused on Internet operations, infrastructure and related protocols, such as network measurement and analysis, IPv6, BGP routing, network security, as well as peering and interconnection.

2) Cybersecurity Grants: practical solutions around network resiliency and security focused on one or more of the following areas: naming, routing, measurement, traffic management, confidential communications, data security and integrity, security of IoT devices and applications, security of critical infrastructure such as energy grids, end-user device security, and building security resilience in your local community.

3) Internet for Development Grant: This grant supports the scaling-up of an innovative Internet-based solution to development issues. Innovation and a development focus must be an integral part of the project proposal. Applications areas such as women and girls in IT, diversity and inclusion, access provision, utility services, devices, IoT, IPv6, privacy, democracy enhancement, open data, economic empowerment, poverty alleviation, and health and education will be considered.

2017 Internet for Development Award

The 2017 award winner will receive an AUD 5,000 cash prize plus a travel grant to attend the Internet Governance Forum 2017, in Geneva, Switzerland. The 2017 theme of ‘Internet for development’ is intended to cast a wide net to capture truly innovative approaches to development issues. Applications areas such as women and girls in IT, diversity and inclusion, access provision, utility services, devices, IoT, IPv6, privacy, democracy enhancement, open data, economic empowerment, poverty alleviation, and health and education will be considered by the Selection Committee.

Besides the funding available, also wanted to share with you that the public website was migrated to a new system using WordPress, and it is now responsive on mobile devices. The issues about voting from mobile devices have been fixed too. The application and selection system was also migrated, incorporating feedback from selection committee members and applicants. A new online reporting system is also currently under way, so the reports submitted from now on will start using that system (more on that later on). The blog will be also easier to use, so I hope to get more articles from you all in the near future.

Your help to promote the call for applications is greatly appreciated.
