TNA FELLOWSHIPS ARCHIVE
CLS INFRA Fellowship Programme:
Supporting scholars from (computational) literary studies to visit leading infrastructures and research institutions
The CLS INFRA Fellowship Programme funds scholars from literary studies or with an interest in Computational Literary Studies methods to visit leading research institutions and infrastructures and become part of the larger CLS community.
Calls for fellowship grants are launched twice a year for a total of six calls (2021-2024).
Successful applicants have the opportunity to interact with experts, receive advice on ongoing projects, learn how to use the ecosystem of data, tools and standards, assemble new literary corpora and profit from hands-on training and support, in one of the project partner infrastructures of their choice.
This archive includes interviews with the TNA Fellows on their experience, their research project and outcomes, video testimonials produced during their fellowship and access to their full reports.
