Elsevier and Leiden University Libraries extend Fellowship Programme for Digital Scholarship
Elsevier has extended its co-operation with Leiden University Libraries’ Centre for Digital scholarship and the Scaliger Institute for two more years on a fellowship programme to support the study of digital collections.
Elsevier, the information analytics business specialising in science and health, and Leiden University Libraries (UBL) have extended the fellowship programme in Digital Scholarship for two years. This programme enables scholars to study the digital collections at Leiden University Libraries and enables co-operation with the innovative Centre for Digital Scholarship (CDS) at Leiden University. The programme financially supports research fellows during their stay in Leiden for a period of two months. The fellows are invited to share their research outcomes through public lectures and publications. The Fellowship offers a new digital scholarship perspective building on the longstanding Scaliger Institute fellowship programme focussing on the study of Special Collections at Leiden University.
