Three key players work together in the Emerging Tech Fellowship.
Emerging Tech Fellow
As an Emerging Tech Fellow, you serve as an expert voice and help advance the discourse on emerging technologies in higher education. You contribute your research-oriented, creative-experimental, or scenario-based perspective to inspire new ways of thinking about future technologies.
In your role as an expert, you act as a source of inspiration, a catalyst, and a multiplier. During your stay, you will work with your host institution to design your own formats, workshops, or contributions and network with actors in Lower Saxony.
Host
Emerging Tech Fellows rely on professional exchange and support during their stay. As a host, you are the first point of contact and create the connection between the fellow and your institution.
In this role, you will help to create a shared workspace and think tank where collaboration, dialogue, and encounters can take place. In addition, you will become part of a growing emerging tech network and have the opportunity to deepen collaborations and actively innovate the future o f higher education.
As a host, you will shape the Emerging Tech Fellowship together with the Emerging Tech Fellow and the Emerging Tech Lab. You are a door opener and enabler:
- you provide the content framework and create space for productive collaboration.
- In collaboration with the Emerging Tech Lab and the Fellow, you will co-create the program – defining key themes and designing engaging event formats.
- You open doors to your institution and facilitate exchange with relevant networks, colleagues, and students.
This role is ideal for professors or institutional leaders interested in contributing their expertise and helping to shape the fellowship’s activities.
Emerging Tech Lab
The Emerging Tech is the central organizational unit of the Emerging Tech Fellowship program and ensures its visibility within the higher education landscape of Lower Saxony.
The Emerging Tech Lab:
- connects Emerging Tech Fellows and hosts with relevant players from science, administration, and practice,
- integrates fellows and hosts into established formats,
- develops formats for exchange and visibility (e.g., workshops, public discussions, exhibitions) together with fellows and hosts,
- accompanies and supports the tandems throughout the Emerging Tech Fellowship in terms of organization and content.
In this way, the Emerging Tech Lab contributes to making the Emerging Tech Fellowship a visible and effective part of Lower Saxony‘s educational landscape.
