[Constantin Hoferer]

Dear AOIRers,

I would like to use the possibility to inform you about our this years
fellowship program. The Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and
Society (HIIG | @HIIG_berlin) which has been founded in March 2012 is meant
to enable innovative scientific research in the field of Internet and
society and to observe the development of the Internet in its interplay
with societal transformation processes.
This year the HIIG opens its doors for fellows from all over the world
again. We invite applications from early stage researchers pursuing a
project of transdisciplinary Internet research. If you are seeking exchange
regarding your research aspirations and find our objectives to match yours
or to complement them, we are looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Feel free to share our call.

Constantin
