Research partnership
You are looking for contact persons for research partnerships? We are happy to put you in touch with the right contact.
You are writing a project proposal on artificial intelligence, but you are still missing a project partner? You are planning a book project or an empirical study on Internet phenomena and are looking for interested collaborators?
At CAIS, researchers from different disciplinary perspectives work on a wide range of topics in digitization research. I support you in finding suitable cooperation partners for your research and publication projects at CAIS.

Further notes on research partnerships with CAIS.
Which projects are possible?
We are happy to support you in finding researchers in digitization research for joint applications, research projects, the preparation of expert reports, publications or participation in scientific studies.
What are the disciplinary backgrounds of the researchers at CAIS?
CAIS is an interdisciplinary research institute for digitization research. So far, we have researchers with predominantly social science and humanities backgrounds, as well as psychologists and people with technical backgrounds.
I am looking for researchers, however I do not have a scientific background myself. Is a partnership with practice also conceivable?
At CAIS, productive exchange with culture, politics, business and civil society is very important to us. We would like to help shape society with our research. That’s why we are also happy to arrange contacts for projects that lie outside the realm of science or are geared toward practical results
Our International Fellows conduct research on digitization topics from very different perspectives. Find a suitable research project here.
What information does CAIS need from you?
