SUMMER FELLOWSHIP 2015 – INTERNET AND SOCIETY
This year the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society once again opens
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
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
<http://www.hiig.de/en/ssrn-internet-society-series-2/>
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
