Schwartz Reisman Institute Graduate Fellowships 2025 (up to $7,500)

The Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society (SRI) supports and integrates world-class research across sectors and disciplines to deepen the understanding of advanced technologies, law, institutions, regulatory structures, and social values. The multifaceted research program fosters interdisciplinary ideas, insights, and understanding of how technology affects society and individuals.

The integrative research they conduct rethinks role in society, the contemporary needs of human communities, and the systems that govern them. They are investigating how best to align technology with human values and deploy it responsibly. In doing so they seek to support existing fields of inquiry as well as to identify and nurture new research agendas by introducing researchers to the concepts and framing used by different disciplines to analyze problems.

Their mission is to deepen their knowledge of advanced technologies, societies, and what it means to be human by actively integrating research across traditional boundaries and building human-centered solutions that really make a difference.
