Announcing call for Topic proposal for the Digital Futures Focus Period 2024

Digital Futures is now enthusiastically inviting proposals from potential organizers of the Digital Futures Focus Period 2024, which is tentatively taking place in May/June 2024.

The Digital Futures Focus Period program is an ambitious 5-week guest researcher event that will be repeated annually but with a new topic every year. The objective is to attract top-level researchers (and their junior colleagues) by funding their accommodation in Stockholm and creating optimal conditions for exchanging ideas, expanding professional networks, initiating new collaborations, and tackling timely research challenges.

Each visiting scholar stays for 3-5 weeks and is hosted by a Digital Futures faculty. In the middle of the focus period, when all visitors are present, there will be a common 3-day workshop with additional invited speakers and attendees from Digital Futures and the Swedish industry and society.
