WASP-HS Affiliated PhD Students 2025

Affiliated PhD students will become part of the WASP-HS graduate school, building an academic network with other humanities and social science scholars working at the nexus of AI and society. WASP-HS students are expected to take at least 4 WASP-HS PhD courses during their PhD studies (examples of courses can be found here), attend summer schools and participate in the annual WASP-HS winter conference. They are also welcome to join on WASP-HS organized trips to AI research sites. Costs for participation in WASP-HS organized activities are shared by WASP-HS and the university/project employing the student. Affiliated students are additionally eligible to apply for funding for research stays abroad.
