ABOUT
Marie Skłodowska-Curie CO-FUND Action Fellowship
Led by the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute (TLRH) and ADAPT, the Science Foundation Ireland Centre for Digital Content Innovation at Trinity College Dublin.
HUMAN+ is a Five year international and interdisciplinary fellowship programme supporting interdisciplinary research between Computer Science and Arts & Humanities, supported by the prestigious European Commission, Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Co-Fund Action.
18 Experienced Researchers
The fellowship will appoint up to 18 fellows for two-year periods between 2021 and 2025. Fellows will either have a background in Computer Science & Engineering or Arts & Humanities and will have genuine interdisciplinary experience or interest regarding the scope of the programme.
Experienced Supervisors
Fellows will be supported by a dedicated multidisciplinary and intersectoral supervisory team. Your Primary Supervisor will align to your primary discipline (Computer Science & Engineering or Arts & Humanities) and a Co-Supervisor will be appointed from the alternative strand to ensure each project is genuinely interdisciplinary. An Enterprise Partner will join the supervisor team to provide expertise on real-world challenges.
Research Areas
Fellows will pursue projects with a distinct focus on human-centered approaches to technology development and the cycle between technology and human experience. Human+ is a truly interdisciplinary programme therefore projects are encouraged from Computer Science & Engineering and Arts & Humanities with a genuine interdisciplinary element.
Enterprise Engagement
Future Lab will bring fellows together to test, learn, invent, co-create, and build solutions in response to problems set by our enterprise partners.
