Yes, Dr. Mohammed. This information is very helpful for me. I was interested in this committee, but I think extent of my knowledge and skill in the field would not suffice to serve as a committee member. And personally and professionally, I am very much interested in learning a lot about it. I’m still working for the students with disabilities is high education to launch and develop the accommodation Service and Learning environment. at the same time I have evolved and released a website of job accommodation network in Mongolian language. It was very challenging for me to coach and explain how to develop my website accessible with screen reader. It’s an just example.  

Could you please direct me to the link or URL so that I can catch up the program announcement information? I don’t mean to use my advantage, but I just would like to know the results of information.

Hi,

If you want to apply for the fellowship, then you have to wait as we plan to launch the call for applications very soon. This is the call for the committee members who will oversee the process.

Hope it helps.

Best,
