[Maurizio]

Dear All

I am sorry for cross-posting or for an inappropriate use of the mailing
list, but I think you can know some recent master graduates who can be
interested in this opportunity.

 *We are recruiting students for **a new community-oriented and
interdisciplinary post-master programme, starting** September 2015. The
deadline for applications is May 4th, 2015.*

SCoDeM is part of the Italian Cluster on “Smart Cities, Smart Communities
and Social Innovation” and is aimed at creating the innovative professional
figure of the Smart Community Designer and Manager. Such figure is equipped
with the methodological and technological skills needed to *design, build,
coordinate and monitor communities of users engaged in socially impactful
projects*. Smart Community Designers and Managers can rely on a wide range
of interdisciplinary competences, which enable them to manage and
consolidate online and physical communities at a territorial and
extraterritorial level. Smart Community Designers and Managers are *greatly
in demand* on a job market which is increasingly pervaded by a widespread
interest in the topics of social innovation and of the involvement of
communities by companies, public corporations and nonprofit organisations.

 *Activities*

SCoDeM involves a 1500-hour workload, inclusive of face-to-face teaching
(around 10%), laboratories (around 15%), a study period abroad (around
10%), an internship (around 40%), seminars and individual study (35%).

*Attendance*

 Activities will take place in the period *between September 2015 and
September 2016*. Attendance is *compulsory*. In particular, students are
required to attend at least 70% of the hours related to face-to-face
teaching and internship.

 *Certificate and Credits*

 Students who have regularly attended activities and passed all the
scheduled tests, including the final exam (consisting of a project
elaborated under the supervision of one of the professors), will
obtain a *post-master’s
certificate* in “Smart Community Design and Management”. The attainment of
the certificate entitles students to the recognition of *60 ECTS credits*.

 *Target Audience and Admission Requirements*

 SCoDeM targets people with *the most diverse backgrounds* (computer
science, social sciences and humanities), who are *interested in carrying
out socially impactful computer science projects with a multidisciplinary
approach*.

To apply for SCoDeM, students must have *an MSc or an equivalent degree*.

Students who will attain an MSc by October 31st 2015 are also eligible for
admission, upon provision of a statement signed by their thesis supervisor,
certifying that the MSc will be obtained by the above-mentioned deadline.
If selected for the course, such students will figure as admitted with a
reservation, until they actually attain the MSc degree.

There are *no limitations related to disciplinary fields*. *Good computer
skills* are required, ideally gained at university. Moreover, as the course
will be taught in English, a *good knowledge of the English language (B2
level)* is a compulsory requirement.

The enrolment on SCoDeM is incompatible with the enrolment on any other
study course.

Candidates will be selected through the evaluation of their CV,
publications (if any) and of the motivation letter they will provide.
