This call invites doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers, and full-time and part-time faculty members at Turkish universities to apply for remote and/in-person exchange visits to Europe’s two leading institutions in the areas of Computational Social Science (CSS) and Quantitative Social Sciences (QSS). The host institutions are GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, located in Germany, and Istituto per l’Interscambio Scientifico (ISI), located in Italy.
This exchange program is organized by the EU-funded Social ComQuant project in which KU is the coordinator of a consortium including GESIS and ISI, and in which Assoc. Prof. Erdem Yörük is the principal investigator. Until July 2023, the partners will collaborate to promote research excellence in Turkey in CSS and QSS. In particular, the project aims at improving the quality of research and teaching, and helping to formulate joint research in CSS and QSS. For that purpose, Social ComQuant will also be offering a large number of training activities such as summer schools, workshops, and online courses. KU is also establishing a CSS graduate (M.A.) program.
We are looking forward to receiving your applications to the exchange program. For detailed information about how to apply, please see the information below.
