The programme is aimed at emerging talents across the globe, between the ages of 20 and 40, and is a unique blend of coursework and practical experience to help prepare young professionals from around the world to become the next generation of Internet technology, policy, and business leaders. More information on the programme, including an information brochure available in the six official UN languages, can be found at http://www.isoc.org/leaders .
