The Open Knowledge Foundation has announced the launch of the Panton Fellowships. Funded by Open Society Foundations, Panton Fellowships will be awarded to scientists who actively promote open data in science.
Fellowships will be held for one year, and will have a value of £8k p.a. Fellows will have the freedom to undertake a range of activities, which could include for instance exploring practical solutions for making data open, facilitating discussions about openness, and catalysing the scientific community. Fellows will continue to be employed and/or study at their current institution throughout the Fellowship, and activities undertaken for the Panton Fellowship should ideally complement and enhance their existing endeavours. Applicants are strongly encouraged to propose their own work plan.
Interested parties may visit the Panton Fellowships home page for more information, including details of how to apply.
