Un des objectifs principaux du Festival Amani est de soutenir l’entrepreneuriat des jeunes au KIVU.

Dans le cadre de l’Espace entrepreneuriat, le Festival Amani organise son 9ème concours d’entrepreneuriat au cours duquel de jeunes entrepreneurs pourront présenter leur projet d’entreprise face à un jury d’experts. Les trois équipes gagnantes du concours recevront chacune un prêt sans intérêt pour le démarrage de leur entreprise ainsi qu’une formation et une incubation de 6 mois.

LE CONCOURS

Le Concours Entrepreneurs 2024 est une compétition de projets de création d’entreprises. Le principe est simple : présenter un projet à vocation marchande face à un jury d’experts.

LES PRIX

Les trois équipes gagnantes du concours recevront chacune un prêt sans intérêt allant de USD 2000 à USD 5000 pour le démarrage de leur entreprise ainsi qu’une formation et une incubation de 6 mois.

DÉROULEMENT DU CONCOURS

1. Inscriptions Les entrepreneurs devront, pour participer au concours, remplir le formulaire d’inscription au plus tard pour le 16 septembre 2023.

2. Sélection Durant le mois de septembre 2023, un comité international d’experts évaluera les projets présentés des points de vue économique, social et environnemental, et sélectionnera les 10 projets les plus porteurs selon ces critères.

3. Formation Pendant 3 mois, les 10 entrepreneurs sélectionnés participeront à une formation intense et à un coaching de préparation au sein du Hub Un Jour Nouveau à Goma et/ou ORHEOL à Bukavu. Cette première formation vise à préciser et mettre en forme l’idée de base du projet d’entreprise, pour qu’elle soit présentable et défendable devant des investisseurs potentiels.

4. Finale Présentation Orale du Projet le 15 février 2024 : les dix équipes sélectionnées défendront leur projet lors d’une présentation orale devant un jury constitué d’entrepreneurs chevronnés.

Since the Shorenstein Center’s founding in 1986, the Fellowship Program has been central to its mission examining the intersection of media, politics and public policy. The purpose of the Joan Shorenstein Fellowship Program is to advance research in the field of media, politics and public policy and facilitate a dialogue among journalists, scholars, policymakers and students.

View past Fellows and their work. 

ABOUT THE JOAN SHORENSTEIN FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

The Joan Shorenstein Fellowship Program is designed to bring journalists, scholars, politicians and policymakers to the Shorenstein Center for a semester to work on a project with a tangible output, and engage with students, faculty, other fellows, and the broader Harvard Kennedy School community. They are expected to be fully-participating members of the Shorenstein Center community while in residence, attending and participating in Center events, social gatherings, and other activities.

Alumni fellows join the Shorenstein Center’s Alumni Fellows Network, to stay connected with the Center and the large and growing group of former fellows all around the world.

WHO SHOULD APPLY?

Career professionals from a variety of related fields are welcome to apply. Past fellows include journalists from local, national and international TV, radio, print, and digital media; media and civic technology innovators; nonfiction authors; documentary filmmakers; political advisors and policymakers; leading academic scholars in fields such as media research and political science; and policy analysts.

The Shorenstein Center is committed to diversity, and actively encourages applications from all demographic backgrounds, and across the political spectrum.

AM I ELIGIBLE?

The guidelines below offer further detail on the types of experience that lead to a successful application and fellowship experience; however, if you unsure if you are eligible we encourage you to contact our staff to discuss further.

• Journalist: Reporters, editors, columnists, producers, media business executives and related, with a minimum of ten years of full-time experience either at professional news organizations or as a full-time freelancer (not including work completed as a university student).
• Politician: Someone who has been elected to a national or high-level state office, or high-level communications professionals within politics and policy, e.g. speechwriters, press secretaries. Minimum of ten years experience (can be cumulative between elected office and other roles).
• Scholar: Tenured or tenure-track professor employed by a college, university or research institution in political science, political communication, journalism, technology studies, sociology, computer science, or a field relevant to the Shorenstein Center’s areas of inquiry.
• Policymaker: High-level official in a cabinet office, or policy adviser to a candidate for national office or high-level elected official.
• Documentary Filmmaker: Documentary filmmakers and/or academics and practitioners with expertise in documentary filmmaking as it relates to public interest media, and/or its intersections with journalism. Minimum of 10 years experience.

Applicants should not have participated in another fellowship within the two years prior to their preferred semester.

Applicants must be fluent in English – listening, reading, writing and speaking. Non-native English speakers must provide TOEFL or IELTS score.

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF A FELLOW?

Applicants must be available to be in residence, full-time, for the duration of their fellowship (Fall Semester: September through December, Spring Semester: February through May, or Full Year: September through May) in Cambridge, MA.

The Fellowship is a full-time appointment, and applicants are expected to commit to the work of completing their primary research project and engaging in the life of the Center, its activities and events. It is understood that busy modern professionals will have occasional essential obligations, and the Center aims to be considerate and flexible in such circumstances. However, any applicant with professional, personal or travel commitments that would require significant time away should consider applying when their schedule allows for the full commitment of a fellowship.

WHAT WILL I BE WORKING ON?

The quality and originality of an applicant’s project proposal is a key deciding factor in the selection process. The primary deliverable for a fellow is a research-based project that contributes to broad understanding of an issue within the information ecosystem, or addresses a problem related to journalism, media, public interest technology, or decision science (with ideal candidates focusing on the intersection of at least two of these areas and with an eye towards politics and/or public policy solutions). Project topics should fit into the existing work of the Center but provide a new angle or area of focus that is not covered specifically by one of the Center’s existing programs

Projects can take many forms, including white paper, policy paper, annotated bibliography, podcast, video, or interactive. Projects should have an anticipated impact in society, and applicants should be able to clearly articulate their project’s desired impact.

Fellows often work independently, with the assistance of a faculty mentor and research assistant, but some have also conducted a series of workshops with students, with the final output taking the form of a report or project illustrating the conclusions of the workshops.

Fellows’ projects are published on the Shorenstein Center website, and many have been cross published or excerpted in a variety of high-profile media outlets and academic journals, or have become the basis for a longer book.

LIFE AS A SHORENSTEIN CENTER FELLOW

In addition to their primary research project, fellows are expected to participate in a range of activities throughout the semester, including:

• Minimum of one public speaking event and one student-facing event (workshop, roundtable discussion, etc.) per semester
• Bi-monthly articles/interviews/expert opinion pieces for the Shorenstein Center site or one of the Center’s program sites (The Journalist’s Resource, etc)
• One video interview/profile for the Center’s website
• Periodic student office hours (1-2 hours per month)
• Regular meetings with fellowship cohort and faculty mentors
• Final internal report of activities and output

The Center hosts several high-profile evening events each semester, including its long-running Theodore H. White Lecture on Press and Politics, Richard S. Salant Lecture on Freedom of the Press, and its flagship Goldsmith Awards featuring the presentation of a prize for the best investigative reporting of the year, and a career award for excellence in journalism. Fellows are encouraged to attend.

Elsewhere on campus, the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum frequently features speakers from the highest levels of government for lively discussion and debate. The Kennedy School’s other Centers and initiatives regularly host experts in a wide variety of topics, and Shorenstein Center fellows are often asked to speak. And the wider Harvard University calendar features hundreds of activities and events each week, including lectures, panels, exhibitions, music, theater, film, sports and much more.

Fellows receive a Harvard ID, which allows for discounted membership to Harvard’s athletic facilities as well as tickets to museums, exhibitions, movies, sports and the performing arts. Previous fellows have used their free time to explore the rich cultural and historical offerings of the Boston and New England area. Several fellows have brought their partners, spouses or families with them for the semester, many of whom get involved in a variety of Harvard activities open to the public. We are not able to provide spouses or family members with Harvard IDs.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER RESOURCES

Fellows receive a stipend, paid in monthly installments at the end of each month of their term. Travel, housing, and living expenses are not covered by the Shorenstein Center.

Fellows are provided with a desk in the Shorenstein Center offices, a Harvard email address, and a Harvard ID allowing access to libraries and other resources.

Fellows are also able to select a paid Harvard Kennedy School student research assistant (eligible to work up to 10 hours per week) to help with their projects.

Le candidat retenu travaillera sur le neuroblastome et le paragangliome de l'enfant dans le groupe de recherche dirigé par Susanne Schlisio :

La recherche est effectuée dans un cadre interdisciplinaire avec une forte collaboration avec les départements cliniques et d'autres groupes de recherche nationaux et internationaux.

Nous recherchons un post-doctorant motivé et créatif intéressé à explorer les moteurs de l'hétérogénéité intratumorale et de la plasticité phénotypique dans le neuroblastome et le paragangliome de l'enfant.

L'hétérogénéité intratumorale et la grande plasticité expliquent la résistance au traitement. Les causes des transitions d'état des cellules de plasticité au cours de la progression tumorale restent mal comprises. Actuellement, il n'existe aucun traitement efficace qui traite l'hétérogénéité du cancer. La caractérisation systématique des propriétés dynamiques de l'hétérogénéité intratumorale et de la plasticité phénotypique peut guider les stratégies de traitement et améliorer les résultats cliniques pour les patients atteints de cancer. Nous visons à élucider l'origine et l'hétérogénéité du paragangliome et du neuroblastome de l'enfant en développant une nouvelle approche analytique et expérimentale basée sur la transcriptomique spatiale et la transcriptomique unicellulaire avec spectrométrie de masse intégrée. Nous utilisons des organoïdes, des lignées cellulaires et générons de nouveaux systèmes de modèles de souris tumorales et incluons des tumeurs humaines pour effectuer une analyse comparative de la trajectoire de différenciation,

De plus, nous recherchons également des post-doctorants motivés et créatifs intéressés par le métabolisme du cancer avec des connaissances en biologie mitochondriale, en biochimie et en biologie moléculaire. Nous définissons actuellement comment la dynamique et la masse mitochondriales sont liées à la résistance au traitement du cancer.

Division et fonctions

Nous offrons un environnement hautement interdisciplinaire, intégrant la biologie computationnelle avec le cancer et la biologie du développement. Nous développons de nouvelles approches analytiques et expérimentales basées sur la transcriptomique mononucléaire et la transcriptomique spatiale pour explorer l'hétérogénéité et la plasticité intra-tumorales. En outre, nous générons de nouveaux systèmes de modèles de souris tumorales et incluons des tumeurs humaines pour effectuer une analyse comparative de la trajectoire de différenciation, pour faire des prédictions et, enfin, pour effectuer des validations préliminaires des stratégies de différenciation tumorale envisagées.

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

The successful candidate will work on childhood neuroblastoma and paraganglioma in the research group headed by Susanne Schlisio:

The research is performed in an interdisciplinary setting with strong collaboration with clinical departments and other national and international research groups.

We are seeking a motivated, creative post-doctoral candidate interested in exploring drivers of intratumor heterogeneity and phenotypic plasticity in childhood neuroblastoma and paraganglioma.

Intratumor heterogeneity and high plasticity account for therapy resistance. Causes of plasticity cell state transitions during tumor progression remain poorly understood. Currently, there is no effective treatment that addresses cancer heterogeneity. Systematic characterization of dynamic properties of intratumor heterogeneity and phenotypic plasticity can guide treatment strategies and improve clinical outcome for cancer patients. We aim at elucidating the origin and heterogeneity of paraganglioma and childhood neuroblastoma by developing a new analytic and experimental approach based on spatial transcriptomics and single-cell transcriptomics with integrated mass spectrometry. We use organoids, cell lines and generate novel tumor mouse model systems and include human tumors to perform comparative differentiation trajectory analysis, to make predictions and, finally, to perform preliminary validations of envisioned tumor differentiation strategies.

In addition, we are also looking for motivated, creative post-doctoral candidates interested in cancer metabolism with knowledge in mitochondrial biology, biochemistry and molecular biology. We currently defining how mitochondrial dynamics and mass is related to cancer therapy resistance.

Division and Duties

We offer a highly interdisciplinary environment , integrating computational biology with cancer and developmental biology. We develop new analytic and experimental approaches based on single nuclei transcriptomics and spatial transcriptomics to explore intra-tumor heterogeneity and plasticity. Furthermore, we generate novel tumor mouse model systems and include human tumors to perform comparative differentiation trajectory analysis, to make predictions and, finally, to perform preliminary validations of envisioned tumor differentiation strategies.
