CEVS
Eligibility
[edit | edit source]The CEVS program is open to any top scholars from other countries. We welcome scholars from all engineering and science fields.
CEVS Application Process
[edit | edit source]All of the work that here does is "free and open source" - so that all people globally can benedit from it. Appropedia is a wiki (editable website like Wikipedia) and the largest user-edited site on the web that concentrates on sustainability, poverty reduction, and appropriate technology. We work on developing a wide range of appropriate technologies and the reasons we use Appropedia are outlined in this paper
If after reading about our work you would like to apply, please do the following:
- Set up your own free user account on Appropedia (click the upper right on any page on the site).
- Create a user page to describe yourself by clicking on the red link of your username in the upper right after you have logged in, write about your background and projects that are relevant to FAST. Then add your picture. If you haven't used a wiki before see https://www.appropedia.org/Help:Editing. You can use these pages as examples in the gallery below by clicking on the name.
- Use your page to experiment and learn wiki markup. After you know what you are doing with wiki editing - then write up a formal page on Appropedia for your most relevant and useful project to date with links back to your existing work. Software/FOSS developers - just do a splash page for your best work and link to your github or similar account.
- When this is done - send Dr. Pearce (joshua.pearce@uwo.ca) an email with the links to your user page, project page and your unofficial application materials grades/test scores. If you are qualified and a good match for an open project you will be contacted immediately.
- After you send it - if you meet all the requirements you will be contacted for a Jitsi interview.
