Mission
|
Launched in 2007 the programme aims to cultivate the leaders of
tomorrow primarily from Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Russia, the Middle East
and North Africa by providing outstanding university graduates and young
professionals with the opportunity to:
- pursue graduate studies at Oxford University;
- and participate in a comprehensive programme of leadership skills
development, long-term mentoring and networking (including work placements,
pro-bono projects and involvement in a high-level speaker and seminar
series.)
The mission is to give the most promising young people from regions
underserved by academic scholarship and leadership training opportunities a
chance to access the knowledge, skills and international networks necessary
to optimally contribute to public life in their countries and regions of
origin - be it in the public or private sectors.
Up to 35 Scholarships will be available in the academic year 2008/2009
