Scholar in residence (SIR)
The Digital Futures ‘Scholar-in-Residence’ (SIR) programme aims to provide scholars at non-Swedish universities with financial support to enable short and longer-term visits to the Digital Futures environment (minimum 1 month, maximum 12 months). This funding programme aims to support academics who wish to benefit from a sabbatical within Digital Futures. How this time away from a home institution is used is flexible and for the scholar-in-residence to decide.
We hope this funding programme will broaden the diversity of those participating in Digital Futures, enabling new global perspectives on digitalisation research to influence our progress. In all cases, we intend that the scholar-in-residence programme should enrich the activities of Digital Futures through participation in, for example, research, teaching, events, and mentorship of early career researchers.
