CEPR is currently looking for a full-time International Program Intern for Winter/Spring 2010 (January - May).
The Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) was established in 1999 to promote democratic debate on the most important economic and social issues that affect people's lives. In order for citizens to effectively exercise their voices in a democracy, it is necessary that they be informed about the problems and choices that they face. An informed public should then be able to choose policies that lead to an improving quality of life, both for
people within the United States, and around the world.

Toward this end, CEPR conducts both professional research and public education so that the public is better prepared to choose among the various policy options. The professional research is oriented towards filling important gaps in the understanding of particular economic and social problems, or the impact of specific policies, both domestically and globally. ... read more

The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), as part of the Special Initiative of the Swedish Government to strengthen democratization and freedom of expression, is extending grant support to NGOs, individuals and other civil society organizations in developing countries. In this context, it has currently launched a call for proposals "to support actors for change where they operate with difficulty and where there is little room for political pluralism with the view of promoting a holistic approach to human rights and embodying a pluralistic and non-discriminatory view of society.” The Initiative is an opportunity for organizations and individuals to seek funding support for activities that will lead to democratization, transparency, policy changes and pluralism by having better access to information, sharing of opinions and achieving greater freedom of expression.

The Roberto Cimetta Fund is an international association promoting artistic exchange and the mobility of professionals in the field of contemporary performing arts and visual arts within the Mediterranean area.
In the Mediterranean region, the frontier region between the Arab, European and Turkish worlds, mobility is an historic reality and an absolute necessity today. It is essential to give shape to the concept of « the dialogue between cultures » and to ensure that individuals really meet ; more concretely this means to make financial resources available to facilitate travel, to capitalise on the opportunities for professional gathering, but also to recognise the free circulation of culture professionals as an integral part of their work. These are amongst the objectives of the Roberto Cimetta Fund.

Arts mobility, travel, meeting with other professionals are all aspects of artistic vitality. In a region where artists are often confronted with economically difficult situa ... read more

The purpose of this funding scheme is to support REDD pilot activities and development of methodologies by civil society organizations, in order to generate input to the climate change negotiations and experiences from REDD activities in the field. Input and critical review from the civil society can contribute to the establishment of more robust strategies for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. In 2010, special emphasis will be given to projects which support, and develop experiences with, the inclusion of local populations and indigenous communities in the development and implementation of REDD-activities.

"Substantial contributions in the fight towards global warming are the rationale behind the effort against deforestation and forest degradation. Therefore, the climate goals will be crucial for further decisions regarding the start-up, continuation, termination or change of support.

With each Eastward enlargement, the European Union acquires new borders and therefore new neighbouring states. The ECF wishes to strengthen cultural ties between those European countries that are not currently members of the EU and the present EU countries through supporting individual mobility in the setting-up phase of cultural and artistic initiatives. Artists and others active in the cultural sector need to meet their international peers, exchange views, cooperate, influence and learn from each other. Cross-border travel allows creative and inspiring modes of expression through collaboration and communication with other cultures. It is the life-blood of cultural cooperation. The experience and insight gained through STEP-funded travel helps careers develop and sets individuals farther along the road to creativity. S.T.E.P. (Supporting Travel for European Projects) beyond was launched in February 2003. STEP beyond offers grants to people (individuals or those representing an organis ... read more
