  International Academic Webcasting Grant
  for Developing Countries using openEyA


  The Science Dissemination Unit (SDU) at the Abdus Salam International Centre
  for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy, is offering an academic
  webcasting grant to have an “off-the-shelf” solution for online learning.

  The aim is to help non-profit  institutions from countries that are members
  of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA to implement the automated production
  of on-line scientific content (via webinars) and e-learning and distance
  education (via web lectures).

  The SDU grant provides a complete set of the openEyA recording system (worth
  about 650 Euros), including all necessary hardware and software. It may be
  awarded to up to three different organizations.

  The recording system consists of a Netbook, (which comes installed with
  openEyA and the Linux Open Source operating system), an omni-directional USB
  microphone, a digital camera, a webcam, and power cables.  For more details
  on the grant visit: http://www.openeya.org/ or send email to: sdu at ictp.it

  Applications must be received by Thursday 25 February 2010.
