This year the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society 
is once again opening its doors for summer fellows from all over the 
globe. We invite applications from early stage researchers pursuing 
transdisciplinary internet research. If you are seeking exchange 
regarding your research aspirations and think your objectives match or 
complement ours, we look forward to hearing from you!

Opportunities
As an early stage researcher we offer a place to proceed with your 
research in an international and transdisciplinary team. Just as the 
fellowship our summer fellowship provides innovative thinkers a unique 
opportunity to exchange experiences and set off new initiatives in an 
inviting intellectual environment. In addition to that you will get in 
touch with other summer fellows during the common research period. The 
selected fellows are very welcome to collaborate in a growing 
international team and to participate in the research activities at our 
institute. We encourage you to actively shape your stay according to 
your research interests. We offer a number of opportunities to get 
involved with our research programme and discuss your research project 
with the HIIG research team, such as:

Writing a paper related to your research project, e.g. publishing a 
journal paper in our SSRN Internet & Society Series
Holding a presentation about a topic of your choice in our weekly HIIG Club
Organising a workshop related to your research topic
Engage in joint activities and projects with other fellows
And more – according to your interest
Time frame
The summer fellow programme 2015 starts earliest at 1 June 2015. We 
offer fellowships ranging from 3 to 12 months starting from this date. 
Fellowships must cover the period from 1 July to 31 August to guarantee 
the exchange among all our fellows. Applications are requested at the 
latest on 1 March 2015 15 March 2015.

Allowances
Fellows are expected to bring their own funding through their home 
institution or outside grants. Fellows must take care of their 
accommodation, insurance, childcare, and transportation arrangements.

travel allowance of up to € 700,- and a visa subsidy of up to € 200,-.
