Deadline: 4 February 2024
Applications are now open for the Digital Humanism Scholarship 2024 from the Institute of Human Sciences . The scholarship aims to bring eminent academics from a wide range of academic fields to the Institute and enable them to carry out cutting-edge research into all aspects of the networked society.
Each semester, a Senior Visiting Fellow spends a one-month fellowship at the IWM. In addition, two Junior Visiting Fellows come to the Institute each semester, carry out their own research projects and enjoy the possibility of intensified collaboration and discussion with the Senior Visiting Fellow.
