About the Residency
The goal of the residency is to strengthen connections and encourage individuals who show exceptional promise and creativity to advance entrepreneurial and scholarly projects in civic science engagement around the world.
Sai Residents are emerging scholars and entrepreneurs who are working to develop new civic science (an umbrella term for informal science education, science communication, public engagement with science, community science, citizen science, etc) tools, programs, and scholarship. Sai Residents are encouraged to network and engage the collective of residents through our private Slack to build connections by sharing their work in progress, giving feedback, asking for help, and more. Sharing is our metric of success. Please note residents are not employees of the CS Media Lab or the SRC and their appointments are by courtesy. Ordinarily, residents have full employment elsewhere, and the residency acts as an add-on professional development opportunity to help accelerate their initiatives by accessing new insights from other residents and the civic science journalism being conducted by the CS Media Lab.
Funding: Depending on the availability of funds, residents are able to apply for internal professional development microgrants from the Civic Science Media Lab.
