Residential Fellowships at the Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS)

CAIS College funds innovative projects that deal with the social opportunities and challenges of digital transformation, and develop perspectives for practice. The funding programme is open to excellent scholars and practitioners, to all disciplines and areas of investigation, as well as to pure research and to projects that are more applied in orientation. A fellowship at CAIS releases you from your regular work obligations and offers many opportunities for stimulating discussions. Fellows spend either 6 or 3 months in Bochum. During this period, CAIS finances their leave from work through compensation or grants. Individual offices and meeting rooms with modern facilities provide optimal working conditions. Fellows live rent-free in comfortable apartments located a short tram ride from CAIS. Fellows are members of the vibrant interdisciplinary research community at CAIS and of an international network of alumni, working groups, and affiliates. Regular joint activities foster academic and social exchange at the Center. Fellows are required to be present at CAIS on the core days Tuesday to Thursday, to participate in regular joint activities and to actively contribute to the interdisciplinary dialogue.
