Advanced Studies Programme
The Advanced Studies Programme is an international research initiative funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (RJ), aimed at strengthening Swedish research in the humanities and social sciences through international collaboration.
The programme offers researchers the opportunity to spend extended periods at one of four prestigious institutes for advanced study around the world. During their stay, researchers are given time and space to focus solely on their own work in a stimulating, interdisciplinary academic environment, free from teaching and administrative duties at their home institution.
The aim is for researchers to build long-term academic networks and collaborations that benefit the Swedish research community — for example by organising seminars, conferences, or initiating joint research projects. The programme encourages both the deepening and broadening of the researcher's perspectives and fields of knowledge, as well as active participation in the academic context of the host institution.
The following institutes are part of this collaboration:
