GC Digital Research Institute Application Form

Thank you for your interest in participating in the GC Digital Research Institute (DRI), an introduction to foundational digital research skills that form a basis for a variety of technology-enabled research projects. Participants will attend 4 days of 4 hour remote workshops, learning basic digital research skills and connecting with others in an interdisciplinary environment. No prior experience using technology is required. This institute is designed with beginners in mind. The GC Digital Research Institute provides an introduction to computational thinking, vocabularies, and foundational concepts so that participants can develop the necessary skills to become an autonomous learner. Pacing and content will be appropriate for those who are not already confident in their use of the command line, data management, HTML/CSS, digital mapping, and Python for text analysis and application development. Participation is **free**, and open to graduate students, faculty, and staff at the Graduate Center; however, applications are required. To accommodate a remote-learning environment, the DRI this year will consist of four Zoom sessions to be held from January 20th–23rd, 2026. Each day of the institute will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 1:00 p.m. with breaks scheduled throughout. To participate in DRI, you are required to attend the full calendar of events on all four days. Beyond our Zoom meetings, DRI will also include space for informal co-working sessions and opportunities to build with peers. By applying, you agree to participate in all activities. Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, December 8th, 2025. If you have any questions, please contact: gc.digitalfellows@gmail.com, and thank you again for your interest.
