The Barbro Klein Fellowships Programme is now 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 the local and global perspectives. The fellowship is a newly launched research programme, which intends to advance the study of cultural diversity on a global perspective.

The Barbro Klein Fellowships programme intends to give fellows the opportunity to concentrate on their research interests, free from the teaching and administrative obligations of ordinary university life. Fellows are to be active members of the scholarly community of the Collegium, and should participate in seminars and academic events beyond their fields of specialization.
