Research scholarships for doctoral students in Berlin – Ibero-American Institute (IAI). The Ibero-American Institute (IAI) grant between ten and twelve scholarships for doctoral students for research stays in Berlin, lasting one to two months, for 2025. The objective of the scholarships is to offer scholarship holders the possibility of advancing innovative projects linked to the line of research and collections of the IAI. Two aspects are fundamental: it must be an innovative project; the proposed project must be able to connect to other disciplines. The selected scholarship holders will have the opportunity to establish a dialogue with the IAI scientific team and other visiting researchers in Berlin. Collaboration with them is an essential part of the stay, during which the fellows must present their projects and preliminary results at the IAI research colloquium. In this edition of the program, only projects that address the effects of digital transformation on the production of knowledge in and/or about Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as the international circulation of this knowledge, will be considered. The use of knowledge as a resource is one of the most debated issues of our time. New technologies and media formats allow better access to the knowledge resource, but at the same time, they give rise to debates and conflicts about the usability, dissemination, monopolization, democratization and diversification of knowledge and therefore raise questions of power social, political and economic. Questions about digitalization and digital transformation have become central topics of study in the humanities and social sciences. Concepts such as digital humanities and the digital turn play an important role in this context. check out here examples of topics that can be funded in 2025. Deadline: 23/08/2024.
