STIAS Fellowships for Swedish researchers (all areas) Sydafrika
Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study STIAS i Sydafrika är ett fristående men med Stellenbosch University nära lierat forskningsinstitut vid vilket framstående forskare inbjuds att vistas 1-3 månader eller mer. Tanken är att i en stimulerande miljö få tid att ostört arbeta med sin egen forskning. Marianne och Marcus Wallenbergs stiftelse finansierar fellowships vid STIAS för svenska forskare. Fellows ska vistas vid STIAS minst en månad, gärna 3 månader eller mer, men det behöver inte vara sammanhängande. Fellowships vid STIAS erhålls genom inbjudan från STIAS ledning, men MMW kan nominera svenska forskare för inbjudan. Intresserade uppmanas kontakta professor Kåre Bremer, kare.bremer@su.se, telefon 0733-669169. För mer information om vistelse vid STIAS kontakta gärna någon av de LU forskare som varit där: Christopher Edling, Anna Hultgårdh, Lars Larsson, Jan Nilsson, Erik Svensson, Sven Åberg
