Reuters Digital Vision Program (RDVP) was an academic program.

History

RDVP was funded by the Reuters Foundation and encouraged innovative applications of computing and communications in the developing world.^[1] Located at Stanford University's Center for the Study of Language and Information, the Program supported social entrepreneurs and organizations who sought to leverage technology-based solutions in the interest of humanitarian, educational, and sustainable development goals. The Program fostered interdisciplinary projects and prototyping efforts that address real needs in underserved communities.

The core of the Program was a nine-month Fellowship course that brought together 12-15 experienced technologists and social entrepreneurs from around the globe. Candidates from a wide range of corporate, educational, government, and non-profit positions applied to the Program, located on the Stanford campus in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Accepted Fellows spent a sabbatical year in residence at Stanford, where they collaborated with faculty, students, commercial technologists, and — most importantly — each other as they work on their projects. Upon completion of the course, Fellows were awarded a certificate from Stanford.

Each week during the academic year the Reuters Digital Vision Program invited technology leaders and innovators from the academic, corporate, government, and non-profit sectors to visit the Program and host a seminar with the DV Fellows.

Ending

The program ended in 2007.^[2]
