About SCAS - Barbro Klein Fellowship Programme
The Barbro Klein Residential Fellowship Programme intends to advance the study of cultural diversity in a global perspective. The fellowship is open to scholars from across disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, with an emphasis on research on cultural and social diversity, cultural heritage and creativity, societal structures and public resistance, and varieties of cultural expressions in local and global perspective.
Benefits of SCAS - Barbro Klein Fellowship Programme
- Fellows selected for the programme generally receive a monthly salary during their residency at SCAS. However, the collegium clarified that fellowship funding may not fully match scholars’ home institution salaries.
- Participants are therefore encouraged to secure supplementary support through sabbatical funding, grants, or institutional funding where possible.
- In most cases, SCAS provides and covers accommodation costs for fellows who reside outside the Stockholm-Uppsala region. The collegium may also assist Stockholm-based fellows who face commuting difficulties.
