The DIAS Society of Fellows promotes research, networking, and leadership opportunities while fostering a sense of community among early-career researchers from diverse disciplines. It provides guidance and support to all Fellows, ensuring they feel welcome and integrated. The Society, which is self-governing and funded for both academic and social activities, launched in February 2024.
Activities
The Society of Fellows facilitates peer learning through weekly lunch seminars focused on research and career development.
Key topics include:

Additionally, the Society hosts social events.
Interplay with researchers environments across SDU
For early-career researchers at SDU not affiliated with DIAS, the Society offers a Visiting Fellow Programme.
This programme integrates scholars from all SDU faculties into DIAS’s international research network, providing resources and training for interdisciplinary scholarship. It includes a short-term DIAS fellowship, collective funding stipend, and access to various activities within the research community.
Each year, two visiting fellows are selected from each faculty, forming a cohort of ten visiting fellows.
