US$330 MILLION FORD FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS
The Ford Foundation has launched a major international graduate fellowships program and a
complementary undergraduate initiative to help prepare a new generation of future leaders for
the environmental, social, economic, and resource, challenges of the 21st century.
The $330 million commitment features a new Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program
(IFP) that will provide $280 million over the next 10 years to support post-baccalaureate
study for Fellows from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Russia. The IFP, which will award 350 new graduate
fellowships annually, assisting a total of 3,500 Fellows over the next decade, represents the
largest single grant in the Ford Foundation's history. An additional $50 million will support programs that seek to broaden
opportunities for undergraduate education in these regions. "Societies around the world face
the challenges of globalization, environmental degradation, advancing technology, peace and security, and the widening gap between rich and
poor," said Susan V. Berresford, president of the Ford Foundation. "To tackle these
challenges successfully we need people from all sectors of society who can bring fresh vision, expert knowledge and strong leadership
skills. In many countries, however, the rapidly increasing need for advanced education far
exceeds available resources, which is why we feel this is the right moment to commit to a large-scale fellowships program."
The graduate fellowships will support up to three years of master's or doctoral study at
universities anywhere in the world. Fellows will be selected on the basis of their leadership
potential, academic excellence and commitment to community or national development. Further information about the foundation is
available on its web site at http://www.fordfound.org.

MASTER PROGRAM in SYSTEM-on-CHIP (SoC) DESIGN
Socware Engineering of Internet Centric ULSI Electronics
International Master program for students having B.Sc. degree or university
exchange students starting their 4th year of studies
Our life and our future is changing due to the rapid growth of the internet,
communication technologies, pervasive and ubiquitous computing enabling the
availability and invisibility of the complex electronics. The key driving
force for this development during this decade will be System-on-Chip
technologies and Socware engineering, where the complex functionality is
integrated towards ULSI scale single chip solutions. This on-going
transition from traditional Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC)
has lead to new challenges and paradigm shifts in design methods and
automation, system and circuit architectures and circuit techniques in order
to harvest the potential benefits of the deep submicron CMOS technologies.
To meet the future challenges, we have at Royal Institute of Technology
(KTH) initiated the globally first Master Program on System-on-Chip design
and Socware engineering of ULSI systems. The program consists of 40 credit
units of courses (9 months study program) and 20 credit units thesis work (6
months) and is primarily targeted to students who have a previous B.Sc.
education or at least 120 credit units of course work from technical
universities. Our location in Kista Science Park, the leading Research Park
for wireless systems, and our forward looking research work has enabled us
to compile a full coverage and coherent study program in this area. We like
to invite you to join us and share our excitement here. To learn more,
please visit our web site at http://www.ele.kth.se/SoC/
We look forward hearing from interested students as well can provide
excellent opportunities for visitng faculty as well as have new openings
from post-doc positions to full professor positions in different aspects of
System-on-Chip/System-on-Package design and applications to Internet
appliances adn personal computing&communication.
