[Commlist] CfA Funding for Research Sabbaticals (Fellowships) and Working Groups

CfA Funding for Research Sabbaticals (Fellowships) and Working Groups
The Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS) funds innovative 
research on the societal impact of digital transformation. We support 
individual researchers (fellows) and collaborative projects (working 
groups).
Fellowships:
A fellowship at CAIS provides the freedom to dedicate yourself to your 
research and the opportunity to become part of an interdisciplinary 
community.
As a fellow, you can spend either six or three months in Bochum, 
Germany. During this time, we will cover your sabbatical leave from work 
through financial compensation (e.g. for a teaching substitute) or 
provide grants of up to 2.000 € per month. In addition, we will provide 
a fully furnished apartment free of charge. You can invite guests for 
collaboration and receive financial support for research expenses. 
Private offices and meeting rooms with modern facilities offer optimal 
working conditions.

You can apply for our regular open call, or for our special call 
“Creating a Human-Centered Future: Exploring the Promise of Industry 5.0”.

Working Groups:
A working group at CAIS enables you to assemble your own team of experts 
from different locations to collaborate in a stimulating environment.

We provide modern meeting facilities and catering for 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 
several shorter meetings.
