[SIGCIS-Members] CfA Research Sabbaticals (Fellowships) and Working Groups at the Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS)

[CAIS-CFA]

The Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS) funds innovative projects that deal with the social opportunities and challenges of the digital transformation. We support individual researchers and groups.

You want to spend a sabbatical in a vibrant interdisciplinary research community? Become a fellow at CAIS!
A fellowship at the Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS) releases you from your regular work obligations and opens up new perspectives.
As a fellow, you can spend either six or three months in Bochum, Germany. During this period, we will finance your sabbatical leave from work through compensation (e.g. for a teaching substitute). Alternatively, we will pay grants of up to 2.000 € per month. You can invite guests for collaboration and will receive financial support for research expenses. Individual offices and meeting rooms with modern facilities offer optimal working conditions. In addition, we will provide comfortable apartments free of charge.

For the winter semester 2025/2026, we will award up to three fellowships on the topic of “Sustainability in the Age of Digital Transformation” in addition to the usual open call. The special call for applications can be found here: https://www.cais-research.de/wp-content/uploads/Special-Call_Sustainability-in-the-Age-of-Digital-Transformation.pdf

You want to boost your collaboration? Bring your group together at CAIS!
Working groups bring together experts from different locations to work on joint projects in an inspiring environment.
We provide modern meeting facilities and catering for working groups of up to ten members. In addition, we will cover travel and accommodation expenses. You can spend up to three weeks in Bochum or get together for up to three shorter meetings.
