ITB Cari 600 Siswa Cerdas Miskin

Posted on | Rabu, 05 Agustus 2009 | 2 Comments

Persyaratan: Para calon penerima beasiswa "ITB Untuk Semua" harus memenuhi persyaratan sebagai berikut:

1. Calon lulusan sekolah menengah umum pada tahun ajaran 2009 (bidang studi IPA untuk fakultas Sains dan Teknik).
2. Berasal dari keluarga yang tak mampu secara ekonomi (penghasilan kedua orangtua di bawah Upah Minimum Regional setempat)
3. Memiliki prestasi akademik yang sangat baik.
4. Aktif dalam kegiatan ekstrakulikuler sekolah (lebih diutamakan yang memiliki bakat memimpin)
5. Mendapat rekomendasi dari kepala sekolah
6. Bersedia mengikuti ujian penerimaan yang dilakukan ITB
kalo saya lihat jawal test-nya sudah lewat; tapi krn ada publikasi yg menyatakan bahwa siswa yg memenuhi syarat kurang
(dari kuota 600 org); jadi info mengenai beasiswa ini saya fwd.
Coba email langsung mengenai hal ini ke: kontak@itbuntuksemu a.com;
Smoga berhasil.

Bisa dilihat syarat2nya klik situs ini

Indonesia ini memang anomali. Ternyata sulit mencari anak cerdas miskin. Dari kewajiban ITB sebagai PTN BHP untuk menyediakan 20% untuk calon mahasiswa cerdas miskin dari total 3.000 calon mahasiswa baru, hanya 51 orang saja baru berhasil dijaring ITB. Perlu kampanye kreatif dan agresif jemput bola sampai ke gang-gang becek dan ke seluruh pelosok Indonesia .

Baru saja saya ditilpun Rektor ITB, Prof. Djoko Santoso. Ia ingin meluruskan tentang tulisan saya yang dikutip ratusan blog dan mailist yang pertama kali dimuat di mailist IA ITB berjudul; "Kembalikan Kursi SNMPTN 2009 kepada yang Berhak".
Menurut Prof. Djoko Santoso, ITB justru kesulitan untuk mencari 600 siswa lulusan SMU yang cerdas miskin. Angka 600 ini adalah bukti kekonsistenan ITB sebagai PTN berstatus BHP yang mensyaratkan 20% dari total penerimaan mahasiswa baru ITB yang seluruhnya 3.000, harus untuk calon mahasiswa cerdas miskin.

Jumlah mahasiswa cerdas miskin ini baru berhasil dijaring sejumlah 23 orang melalui Ujian Saringan Masuk (USM) ITB 2009. Dan 28 orang melalui seleksi "Beasiswa ITB untuk Semua" 2009. Menurut Prof. Djoko Santoso, profil mereka adalah anak-anak rakyat Indonesia cerdas tetapi orang tuanya miskin. Profil orang tua mereka adalah tukang bakso, penjual nasi pinggir jalan, pemilik kios warung kecil, pembantu rumah tangga, petani musiman, nelayan, tukang gali tanah, tukang bangunan, sopir angkot, anak calo bisnis kelas teri, pensiunan tentara dan polisi pangkat prajurit, anak Satpam, guru ngaji, pensiunan guru SD dan lain-lain.
Melihat total calon mahasiswa cerdas miskin yang berhasil dijaring ITB hanya 51 orang dari 600 orang untuk kursi yang tersedia. Maka saya sarankan agar ITB lebih agresif lagi dan lebih kreatif lagi dalam menginformasikan dan menggerakkan minat masyarakat untuk masuk ITB tanpa biaya sepeser pun selama dia kuliah di ITB dan seluruh biaya hidup ditanggung ITB sampai lulus.
Mungkin selama ini masyarakat miskin sudah takut dengar nama ITB sendiri sebelum mereka mau mendaftar. Yang mereka tahu, ITB itu yang paling mahal biaya formulir pendaftarannya yakni Rp. 850 ribu. Nah kalau ia seorang pembantu berarti dia harus menyerahkan seluruh pendapatannya dua bulan gaji untuk beli formulir seleksi masuk ITB. Belum untuk urus sana urus sini. Pokoknya berat di ongkos. Sedangkan biaya untuk hidup keluarga mana?
Pengalaman spesifik perjuangan dengan segala kendalanya dalam menyeleksi USM ITB dan "Beasiswa ITB untuk Semua" 2009, ada baiknya ditulis dan dijelaskan secara panjang lebar kepada media cetak dan elektronik lokal maupun nasional termasuk di mailist IA ITB ini. Setidaknya ini akan menggugah para alumni ITB yang jumlahnya puluhan ribu untuk memberikan saran dan idenya. Syukur-syukur mau jemput bola, siapa tahu anak pembantunya cerdas, siapa tahu anak Satpam di lingkungannya pinter; siapa tahu anak supirnya juga otaknya moncer. Syukur-syukur ia sendiri mau menyumbang.
Sebab menurut Betti Alisjahbana, yang mengkoordinasikan program "Beasiswa ITB untuk Semua" semakin banyak pendukungnya. Setelah kemarin, 23 Juli 2009, pak Jusuf Kalla, Wakil Presiden RI berkenan membantu penggalangan dana melalui goresan pertama di dua lukisan seniman ITB.. Maka pada 24 Juli 2009 Betti Alisjahbana mendapat konfirmasi donasi "Beasiswa ITB untuk Semua" dari Pertamina sejumlah Rp. 1.000.000.000. Selain itu seorang alumni ITB (Haminanto Adinugraha) baru saja menyumbangkan Rp. 100.000.000 ke pundi-pundi "Beasiswa ITB untuk Semua". Dengan demikian total komitmen donasi yang sudah kami dapat adalah Rp. 4.200.000.000. Dana ini cukup untuk membiayai 42 mahasiswa sampai lulus dari ITB. Sementara hasil seleksi untuk calon mahasiswa cerdas miskin hanya 28 orang.

Mari kita cari sampai ke gang-gang becek, ke seluruh pelosok Nusantara, para anak cerdas miskin yang diprioritaskan masuk ITB gratis sampai lulus. Permintaan ITB dan para donatur hanya satu mereka yang diterima jadi mahasiswa ITB kelak diharapkan menjadi agen perubahan di lingkungan sosial asalnya.

Langkah-langkah Memenangkan Beasiswa ke Amerika

Posted on | Rabu, 08 Juli 2009 | No Comments

Mungkin banyak di antara teman-teman yang pernah mencoba mengajukan lamaran beasiswa tapi saat ini belum berhasil. Teruslah mencoba, kadang keberhasilan tak bisa diraih dalam sekejap. Di bawah ini, saya postingkan sebuah tips Langkah-langkah Memenangkan Beasiswa ke Amerika yang dibuat oleh kawan Franklin. Semoga bermanfaat.

Untuk dapat beasiswa ke Physics grad school di USA (juga Singapore), di bawah ini sudah Franklin rangkum langkah-langkahnya secara ringkas sampai pengurusan visa F-1.

Franklin percaya satu tahun persiapan cukup untuk dapat beasiswa ke USA. Beasiswa yang bisa kita beroleh biasanya berupa Teaching Assistantship / TA (jadi asisten dosen dan dibayar), Research Assistantship / RA (jadi asisten laboratorium- riset dan dibayar), atau fellowship (beasiswa tanpa ikatan, biasanya karena prestasi tertentu).

Misalkan kawan-kawan ingin kuliah pada tahun 2010, inilah yang akan saya anjurkan dari sekarang.

1) Tahun ajaran di Amerika biasanya dimulai pada Fall term sekitar bulan September (semester ganjil kalau di Indonesia) atau Spring term sekitar bulan Maret (semester genap kalau di Indonesia). Summer dan Winter term biasanya digunakan untuk menulis tesis dan riset. Saya anjurkan melamar untuk Fall 2010, karena beasiswa lebih berlimpah pada term tersebut.
2) Buka website kampus yang ingin dilamar, cari professor yang riset atau publikasinya sesuai dengan minat anda. Coba kontak baik-baik dengan sopan lewat e-mail, apakah bisa jadi mahasiswa PhD di bawah bimbingan beliau juga kemungkinan mendapat beasiswa di kampus tersebut.

Jangan kirim apa pun saat ini, lihat dulu beliau tertarik atau tidak. Jika beliau berkenan, silakan kirim CV atau abstrak skripi atau publikasi riset yang relevan dengan bidang beliau. Harap diingat bahwa profesor sangat sibuk, jadi mungkin butuh waktu berhari-hari sampai beliau membalas e-mail anda. Jika sampai 1 minggu tidak ada jawaban dari professor, silakan kirim lagi e-mail untuk mengingatkan beliau. Jika tidak ada jawaban juga, jangan berkecil hati dan coba kontak professor lain.

3) Kalau kelihatannya sama profesor dan kampus ini sudah 'cocok', persiapkan diri untuk mengambil internet-based TOEFL, GRE General, dan GRE Physics untuk dikirim ke kampus tersebut. Silakan melamar tes-tes tersebut di website 'Educational Testing Service'. Pembayaran tes sebaiknya menggunakan kartu kredit. Kalau tidak punya, boleh minta tolong teman, keluarga, atau kantor.

Sebelum mengambil TOEFL dan GRE, sebaiknya paspor anda juga sudah diurus dan masih valid. Paspor biasanya menjadi tanda pengenal yang diakui ketika anda datang ke tempat ujian TOEFL dan GRE.

Usahakan mendapat nilai setinggi-tingginya pada tes tersebut agar peluang diterima di kampus dengan beasiswa semakin besar (iBT-TOEFL >100, GRE General Q: >700, GRE Physics: >700 biasanya sudah dianggap cukup baik). Harap diingat bahwa hasil tes hanya valid selama 2 tahun.

4) Aplikasi lamaran biasanya via-online lewat website kampus. Kalau masih rada gaptek, boleh minta tolong dibantu sama teman atau keluarga yang mengerti internet. Lamaran bisa juga didownload untuk diprint dan diisi sendiri, tetapi ini nanti harus dikirim balik ke Amerika. Ada biaya pendaftaran yang harus dibayar di muka, biasanya dengan kartu kredit. Jika memungkinkan, minta fee-waiver (digratiskan) untuk aplikasi anda, hal ini bisa terjadi jika kampus menilai anda sangat layak diterima menjadi mahasiswa di kampus tersebut. Jika tidak mungkin, bayar dan print kuitansi pembayaran anda. Usahakan koneksi internet anda tidak down selama mengurus pembayaran.

5) Persiapkan dokumen-dokumen pendukung lamaran anda. Yang wajib hukumnya biasanya kopi Ijazah dan Transkrip dalam bahasa Inggris yang sudah terlegalisir. Juga tulisan Essay (Personal Statement, Letter of Motivation, Statement of Purpose, atau apapun namanya) alasan anda bergabung dengan kampus tersebut maupun kelayakan anda memperoleh beasiswa. Bisa juga disertai dengan kopi paspor, KTP, CV, abstrak skripsi, atau kopi sertifikat dan penghargaan yang berhasil diraih selama kuliah. Dokumen bisa diterjemahkan ke Bahasa Inggris dengan bantuan penerjemah tersumpah atau jasa EducationUSA di AMINEF – Balai Pustaka, Jakarta.

6) Seringkali anda diminta menyebutkan 2 – 4 nama orang yang sanggup memberikan surat rekomendasi untuk aplikasi anda. Orang-orang seperti dosen, dosen pembimbing, kajur / dekan / rektor, maupun atasan adalah orang yang sangat pantas untuk memberikan rekomendasinya. Surat bisa mereka ketik sendiri dan tanda tangan, atau –jika mereka mengizinkan- anda ketik sendiri lalu mereka tanda tangan. Usahakan surat dicetak pada kertas berkop resmi universitas tempat anda kuliah / kantor tempat anda bekerja dan dimasukkan pada amplop resmi kampus / kantor anda. Tergantung pada kebijakan kampusnya, surat rekomendasi tersebut bisa dikirim scannya saja via e-mail sang pemberi rekomendasi, atau harus disertakan bersama-sama semua dokumen pendukung aplikasi anda.

Kirimkan semua dokumen anda lewat pos ekspres atau jasa kurir (terkadang kampus juga menerima kiriman dokumen via fax atau scan-nya via e-mail). Hal ini akan memakan waktu beberapa hari atau sekitar satu minggu-an. Jangan lupa untuk terus mengontak kampus untuk memastikan dokumen anda benar sampai ke kampusnya. Juga pastikan semua dokumen yang mereka minta sudah terkirim sekali jalan. Dokumen yang kurang lengkap bisa membuat pengurusan aplikasi anda tertunda sampai anda melengkapi dokumen yang masih kurang tersebut.

7) Bisa saja ada interview dari profesor yang telah anda kontak sebelumnya. Ini untuk mengecek keseriusan anda untuk belajar serta kelancaran anda dalam komunikasa bahasa Inggris. Interview biasanya dilakukan via telepon atau internet. Profesor akan mengontak anda beberapa hari sebelumnya untuk memberikan hari dan jam interview anda, persiapkan diri anda sebaik-baiknya. Usahakan diinterview di tempat yang koneksi telepon atau internetnya bagus dan bebas dari gangguan yang tidak perlu selama interview.

8) Untuk penerimaan mahasiswa Fisika pascasarjana pada Fall 2010, semua hal di atas harus sudah dilakukan sebelum 15 April 2010. Ini merupakan ketentuan bagi semua jurusan Fisika di Amerika, tetapi tidak benar-benar mutlak. Bisa saja lamaran diurus setelah 15 April, tetapi itu sangat tidak dianjurkan.

9) Mengapa harus 15 April? Karena kampus akan memberikan keputusan anda diterima, ditolak, atau sekedar cadangan sebelumnya! Biasanya pada Februari-Maret anda sudah tahu keterima dimana saja, dan mesti mengambil keputusan untuk menerima offer tersebut sebelum 15 April 2010. Setelah 15 April, mereka yang sekedar cadangan boleh harap-harap cemas 'naik tingkat' dan mendapat offer dari kampus yang mereka inginkan. Kampus bisa juga menerima anda tanpa beasiswa sama sekali, atau keputusan beasiswa baru datang belakangan. Harap berhati-hati sebelum menerima atau menolak Admissions offer.

10) Setelah anda memutuskan menerima offer dari kampus -dan saya asumsikan dengan beasiswa yang cukup- kampus akan mengirim form I-20 untuk mengurus visa student (F-1). Pada form ini, ada keterangan SEVIS yang harus diikuti dan dibayarkan sebesar $200. Bayar SEVIS ini segera di situs Department of Homeland Security, dan print kuitansi pembayarannya. Bisa juga menunggu kuitansi pembayaran SEVIS dikirimkan langsung ke alamat kita, tetapi ini memakan waktu.

Bagi yang masih bingung apa itu form I-20 dan SEVIS untuk kuliah di Amerika, silakan cek Google atau Wikipedia.

11) Silakan urus tanggal interview F-1 visa di website kedutaan Amerika, dan persiapkan pasfoto + semua dokumen yang mereka cantumkan. Sangat dianjurkan untuk menggunakan jasa konsultasi Visa dan penerjemahan dokumen di EducationUSA AMINEF – Balai Pustaka, Jakarta supaya bisa lebih siap sebelum tanggal interview. Juga ikuti program Pre-departure Orientation di AMINEF agar bisa lebih mempersiapkan diri sebelum interview visa maupun berangkat ke Amerika.

12) Datang tepat waktu (lebih pagi lebih baik) pada hari interview di kedutaan Amerika. Pakaian sebaiknya rapi dan sopan. Pastikan anda membawa paspor dan dokumen original lengkap, dan sudah mempersiapkan diri untuk menjawab pertanyaan interview dari petugas konsuler. Antrian akan relatif panjang, jadi persiapkan stamina anda.

Jika semua lancar, paspor bercap F-1 visa dapat diambil beberapa hari setelah interview sesuai dengan tanggal yang tercantum pada tiket pengambilan. Jika aplikasi visa anda ditolak, tanyakan keterangan alasan anda ditolak secara tertulis beserta dokumen pelengkap yang harus dibawa pada interview berikutnya. Juga segera kontak AMINEF untuk mempelajari mengapa visa anda ditolak dan konsultasi lebih jauh agar aplikasi F-1 visa berikutnya bisa berhasil.

Selamat Mencoba. Semoga Berhasil

Scholarship Awards

The scholarships for 2010 will be awarded by the SRE, through its General Directorate for Academic and Cultural Cooperation. Scholarship grantees shall be notified between December 1 and 17, 2009. The results will be delivered in writing at the corresponding Mexican Embassy.

The terms and conditions of the scholarship awards shall be made known to applicants through the Mexican Embassy in their countries.

Scholarships are non-transferable to other individuals and may not be deferred for any school years other than those for which the scholarship was originally granted.

Persons granted a scholarship from this Call must sign a written pledge to return to their native countries upon completion of their scholarship studies.

Regulations for Scholarship Grantees

Scholarship grantees shall be documented as non-immigrant students at the Consular Section of the Mexican Embassy in their countries. They must not travel to Mexico as tourists.

Scholarship grantees who hold dual nationality must enter Mexico as scholarship grantees and accredited citizens of the country which proposed their candidature.

Scholarship grantees must agree to sign the document entitled “Rules Applicable to Foreign Grantees of Ministry of Foreign Affairs Scholarships”, which is included in this annual Call. Signing this document, as well as the Award Contract, constitutes acceptance of the scholarship and of the conditions governing the grantee’s stay in Mexico.

Once a scholarship is awarded, no changes of either educational institution or studies will be permitted. In the event a scholarship grantee were to abandon his/her studies, become involved in activities contrary to the provisions of Mexican law, fail a subject or unjustifiably obtain grades below a GPA of 8.5 (eight-pointfive) , on a scale of 0 to 10 in each study period, the scholarship shall be cancelled.

Scholarship grantees must abide by the rules of the Mexican academic institution where they are studying. Should they directly or indirectly participate in any hostile movement or act, inside or outside their academic surroundings, or should the academic institution discharge or expel a grantee, the scholarship shall be cancelled automatically.

Scholarships are granted to pursue studies in Mexico, therefore, candidates may not be absent from the country for a period exceeding 30 days per scholarship year. Should this occur, the scholarship allowance shall be suspended but may be reinstated and/or cancelled definitively.

Permits to leave the country cannot be accumulated from one year to another.. The year shall be counted as of the date on which the scholarship begins. Those grantees receiving a scholarship for a period of less than 12 months shall be analyzed on case-by-case basis.

Preference shall be given to candidatures whose thesis or research can be done in its entirety in Mexico, to prevent setbacks for students who, because of their chosen subjects, might need to return, halfway through studies, to their native countries to gather information. When this occurs, the scholarship shall be temporarily suspended upon the students’ departure from Mexico and reinstated upon their return, in accordance with the timeline granted by the Directorate for Academic Exchange (DIA) of the General Directorate for Academic and Cultural Cooperation.

Formalities

a) Immigration
Once candidates have received official written notification of the scholarship award, they must then proceed with all formalities stipulated before the corresponding Mexican Embassy or Consulate. Grantees must be documented as scholarship students with Immigration Form 3 (FM3) not as tourists.
Scholarship grantees may not travel on diplomatic or official passports. The costs of registration and visa renewal shall be borne by the scholarship grantees.

b) Travel to Mexico
If international air travel forms part of the scholarship benefits, the airline ticket will be arranged by the Directorate for Academic Exchange. The Mexican Embassy in the respective country shall notify grantees of the flight and ticket details. In the event international air travel is not included in the scholarship benefits, grantees must travel to Mexico at their own expense.
Before the trip to Mexico, grantees must be sure to have international medical insurance to cover their expenses in the event of illness, accident, or hospitalization for the first three months of their stay in Mexico, given that the IMSS medical insurance does not come into effect until the third month of the scholarship.

c) Arrival in Mexico
Upon arrival in Mexico City, scholarship grantees must report in person to the offices of the Directorate for Academic Exchange of the General Directorate for Academic and Cultural Cooperation located at: Plaza Juárez N°20, Piso 4 (Fourth Floor), Col. Centro, 06010, MĂ©xico, D.F. between 09:00 and 13:30 hours, Monday thru Friday, to complete the necessary formalities for their registration as SRE scholarship grantees. We recommend that you consult your scholarship grantee guide.

d) First Allowance Payment
The first allowance will be paid to scholarship grantees during the last days of the month in which the scholarship begins and in accordance with the annual calendar they will be given by their local Mexican Embassy before traveling to Mexico. Consequently, it is essential that grantees bring enough living expenses to last for at least the first 30 days. Scholarship grantees who fail to report to the DIA and be documented within the first ten days of the month in which the scholarship begins shall forfeit the first allowance payment.

e) Payment of Monthly Allowance
In the annual calendar schedule, the monthly-allowance payment day and the payroll-list signing dates are stipulated. Scholarship grantees accredited with institutions in the metropolitan area (Mexico City) must go to sign the corresponding payroll list at the offices of the Directorate for Academic Exchange. Scholarship grantees studying in the interior of the Republic must send – via e-mail – confirmation of receipt of their allowance payment. For said purpose and at the moment of being documented, they will be given a simple form prepared by the Directorate for Academic Exchange.

f) Intermediate Formalities
Scholarship grantees must familiarize themselves with the document entitled Rules Applicable to Foreign Grantees of Ministry of Foreign Affairs Scholarships, as well with the processes they must observe as grantees during their stay in this country so as not to omit any formality.

g) Final Formalities
Upon completion of their studies or research, scholarship grantees must hand in to the Directorate for Academic Exchange of the General Directorate for Academic and Cultural Cooperation a copy of the graduating-exam proof document, as well an electronic version of their thesis or final paper and a letter signed by the tutor confirming attainment of the objectives of the project. If applicable, they must also request the airline ticket for return to their home country and be informed of the departure date.
In the event of failing to comply with the foregoing requirements, the last monthly allowance payment and the airline ticket shall be cancelled, if applicable.

Obligations of Scholarship Grantees

These can be found in the document entitled Rules Applicable to Foreign Grantees of Ministry of Foreign Affairs Scholarships, which grantees must sign at the moment of receiving the scholarship award and thereby promise to abide by its provisions and respect its contents

* Computational Linguistics
* Accounting

The Capital Markets Cooperative Research Centre (CMCRC) has been a very successful research centre that has won prizes for its research and has already spun-off several businesses. The research work of the existing CMCRC is described below. Funding has recently been obtained for a much larger CRC that will operate internationally. The CMCRC’s research is supported by government, industry partners, security exchanges, and regulators in Australia, the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, Scandinavia, and North America. Students are based both in Australia and overseas and have some opportunity to travel.
The CMCRC provides an exciting, high calibre, and well resourced research environment for work in capital markets. The research objective is to create better capital markets locally, regionally, and globally. CMCRC research is about providing a better understanding of financial markets (their operation and their price behaviour) and research which facilitates the provision of advances in technology to capital markets. In the CMCRC there is a particular focus on the enhancement of market integrity and security. CMCRC research is also about realising commercial benefits from innovation, and the CMCRC provides direct participation in commercial results for PhD Students.

Programmes currently operate under the following research themes:

* market design and market behaviour
* surveillance and compliance
* data mining
* language technology
* the analysis of accounting and audit data relevant to security markets.

Interdisciplinary research is encouraged. Applications are invited for full-time scholarships to support PhD studies. We seek highly motivated and enthusiastic scholars from the disciplines above, who wish to work in the area of financial markets.

Eligibility

Successful candidates will have a 1st class honours degree in one of the disciplines above, or a Masters degree with a major research component, an exceptional academic record, strong written and verbal communications skills, and an ability to work in a team environment. The successful applicants will work closely with one or more industry partners, and consequently will need to be flexible with regard to their research topic. Students will be enrolled at The University of New South Wales, The University of Technology Sydney, The University of Wollongong, The University of Sydney, Macquarie University, or an overseas university associated with the CMCRC, such as the University of Reading. Students generally apply to the CMCRC before they apply to the university, but applications may proceed simultaneously. We encouage applicants to establish contact with potential supervisors at our partner universities in conjunction with their application.

Award Tenure

Subject to satisfactory performance, scholarships are tenable for up to three years commencing in 2009 and 2010. Scholarships of up to $50,000 pa will be offered. The scholarship is tax free. Australian residents in our program obtain RTS places, which means that they do not pay tuition fees or HECS.

Application Closing Dates

Applications are considered for selection several times per year. Please submit your completed application before one of the following closing dates. Shortlisted applicants are interviewed prior to placement. The selection and placement process normally takes about 8 weeks.
Application Closing Date
15 June, 2009

Additional information for international students.

International students are eligible to apply for scholarships. It is particularly important for international students to demonstrate the quality of their qualification, their capacity for research and their ability in written and spoken English. Short-listed applicants will be interviewed. Note: the CMCRC does not pay university tuition fees for international students. International students can usually apply to their university or faculty for a fee scholarship, or fee waiver. CMCRC students are usually successful in such applications, but this is a matter for the student and the university, not the CMCRC.

Modelling spatial catchment hydrology using Earth Observation and Distributed Temperature Sensing of streams

The purpose of the PhD project is to use distributed temperature sensing (DTS) of streams to improve the spatial parameterization and modelling of catchment hydrological processes. The DTS system uses a long (2 km) fiber-optic cable to provide stream temperature measurements with 1 m resolution. In particular, the system will be used to identify, parameterize and model lateral inflows to the stream in relation to the spatial characteristics of the upland contributing areas. The PhD student will be involved in measuring, analyzing and modelling the data using also ancillary information.

The scholarship is financed by the Danish Research Council for Technology and Production as part of a larger research project which includes the use of Earth observation and other spatial data for modelling hydrological and atmospheric processes (www.upscalehydrolo gy.ruc.dk) . The PhD student will be working in the research project group and is co-supervised by the Department of Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Environment) who is also a research project partner. The PhD student will be affiliated to the Graduate Programme in Environmental Stress Studies (GESS) at Roskilde University.

No Comments

The Master`s Program International Media Studies is a four-semester, full-time program for further education. It is a joint project from the University of Bonn, the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences and Deutsche Welle, Germany`s international broadcaster with its headquarters in Bonn.

Philosophy
Free and independent media is a significant factor for a functioning democracy, social justice and the protection of human rights. The Master`s Program is based on the belief that there is a connection between democracy and development, between the freedom of opinion and democracy as well as between free media and development. The prerequisite for the establishment of a functioning, free media system are journalists who realize their role as a critical observer and reporter. This can only be guaranteed when they are professionally trained and feel obligated by a set of journalistic ethics.

By training journalists academically, the Master`s Program is therefore a targeted step towards making the media spokespeople for openness within democracy.

The courses are based on the values of democracy, freedom and conflict prevention, civil society and good government – representative of the connection between the media and cooperative development.

Those interested must have already completed an academic program (bachelor`s or equivalent) and have at least one year of professional media experience.

The program will be bilingual (English and German), whereby English will be the prevalent course language.

Especially targeted at:
