SEC scholars
The Digital Futures Summer Early Career (SEC) visiting programme aims to support early career scholars at non-Swedish universities to enable short and mid-term visits to the Digital Futures environment (minimum 1 month, maximum 5 months) from May to September. This funding programme supports tenure-track academics who wish to benefit from a sabbatical within Digital Futures. The time away from a home institution is flexible and for the visiting scholar to decide.
This funding programme will broaden the diversity of those participating in Digital Futures, enabling new global perspectives on digitalisation research to influence our progress. The SEC programme should enrich the activities of Digital Futures through participation in, for example, research, teaching, events, and mentorship of PhD and Post-Doctoral researchers.
