Research groups throughout the years
For more than 15 years, the Pufendorf IAS has welcomed hundreds of interdisciplinary research groups, all united by their desire to explore scientific problems from different disciplines, curiously and enthusiastically. All research conducted here has been at an early or very early stage.
The seeds of new research are planted at the Institute; afterwards, as the research develops further and matures, the fruit of these ideas emerges in the form of new research projects, successful grant applications, new PhD programmes and extensive networks. This despite the fact that the Pufendorf IAS ”no-expected deliverables principle” during the research groups time at the Institute. It is also noteworthy that researchers that have been here want to return in new interdisciplinary constellations.
The researchers are strikingly often ahead of, or perfectly in tune with societal issues of key importance if they are entrusted with the freedom to develop their own research problems

Sources of knowledge, experience and opportunities for future research cooperation
Are you pondering a research idea you want to persue, but are unsure if the idea already “has been done”? Do you look for cooperations within Lund University in order to explore it? We have complied all former interdisciplinary research groups throughout the years at the Pufendorf IAS – perhaps this is your key to future research cooperations?
