Apply now to participate in the Institute for Open Leadership Timothy

Earlier this week, we kicked off<https://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/42736>
 the Open Policy Network <http://openpolicynetwork.org/>. We announced that
the first project within the Network is the Institute for Open
Leadership<http://openpolicynetwork.org/iol/>.
The Institute for Open Leadership is a training program to develop new
leaders in education, science, public policy, and other fields on the
values and implementation of openness in licensing, policies, and
practices. The Institute is looking for passionate public- and
private-sector professionals interested in learning more about openness and
wish to develop and implement an open policy in their field.

Interested applicants should review the application
information<http://openpolicynetwork.org/iol/#apply> and
submit an application by *June 30, 2014*. We plan to invite about
15 fellows to participate in the first round of the Institute for Open
Leadership. The in-person portion of the Institute will be held in the San
Francisco bay area in January 2015 (TBD: either January 12-16 or January
19-23). Applications are open to individuals anywhere in the world.

A central part of the Institute will require fellows to develop and
implement a capstone open policy project. The point of this project is for
the fellow to transform the concepts learned at the Institute into a
practical, actionable, and sustainable initiative within her/his
institution. Open policy projects can take a variety of forms depending on
the interests of the fellow and the field where the project will be
implemented.

Questions about the Institute for Open Leadership should be directed to
opn at creativecommons.org. Our thanks to the William and Flora Hewlett
Foundation <http://www.hewlett.org/> and the Open Society
Foundations<http://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/> for
funds to kickstart the Institute for Open Leadership.
