Call for applications

The Pufendorf IAS stimulates interdisciplinary research within Lund University. The Institute supports researchers working together across disciplinary borders to develop new areas of research.

The Institute announces yearly calls for applications to Themes and Advanced Study Groups

Theme applications

Theme must be innovative in nature and revolve around a research issue which can best be solved through knowledge from several disciplines in collaboration.  Focus should be on paving the way for future research opportunities.

The call for applications for the opportunity to establish a Theme at the Pufendorf IAS starting in September of 2025 will open no later than the beginning of October 2024.

ASG applications

An Advanced Study Group (ASG) gathers researchers from different disciplines around a shared research issue. An ASG provides an opportunity to exchange ideas and perspectives on a research issue that is still at a very early stage of development.

Advanced Study Groups are admitted twice a year through an open call.
Deadline for applications to start an ASG in September is May 10th 2024.
The application deadline for groups starting in February 2025 is November 10th 2024.
