Digital Futures announcing Call for Focus Period 2025

Digital Futures invites proposals from potential organizers for the Digital Futures Focus Period 2025, to take place in May/June 2025.

The Digital Futures Focus Period program is an ambitious 5-week guest researcher event designed to be an annual occurrence with a fresh topic each year. It aims to attract top-level researchers and their junior colleagues to Stockholm by covering their accommodation expenses and fostering an environment favouring idea exchange, networking, collaboration initiation, and addressing relevant research challenges.

During this event, each visiting scholar spends 3-5 weeks hosted by a Digital Futures faculty. In the middle of the period, a common 3-day workshop is held, featuring additional invited speakers and attendees from Digital Futures, the Swedish industry, and society. Throughout the rest of the period, visitors engage with their hosts and each other.

  • Deadline for proposals: May 10, 2024
  • Focus period: 3-5 weeks, tentatively in May/June 2025
