Maja Andjelkovic read for an LLM in International Law with International Relations (Disctinction) at BSIS. She is currently reading for a DPhil at the University of Oxford where her research interests involve the potential of mobile telephony to support innovation in emerging markets.
She joined the World Bank Group in March of 2007 and is currently a researcher and project officer with infoDev. infoDev is a technology and innovation-led development finance program in the Financial and Private Sector Development (FPD) Vice Presidency of The World Bank and IFC. It is coordinated and served by an expert Secretariat that acts as a neutral convener of dialogue and coordinator of joint action among bilateral and multilateral donors.
Previously, she worked in the private sector on developing Internet technology used to track public opinion, and with the International Institute for Sustainable Development, where she helped advance sustainability issues at the World Summit on the Information Society and the Internet Governance Forum.
We asked her about her time at BSIS:
“I appreciated the international community, excellent professors, very good faculty-to-student ratio, and encouragement of students pursuing non-traditional research topics. The research skills I acquired at BSIS were critical to my ability to pursue a doctorate at Oxford.”
“I would certainly recommend BSIS as a great place to develop independent research skills, to enjoy small, seminar-style classes and to work with attentive professors with very current knowledge of their fields.”
