Swedish Exchange Programme

Opportunities for scholars involved in Scandinavian and Swedish studies

The Australian Academy of the Humanities and the Swedish Royal Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities have an Exchange Agreement, which provides for one established Australian scholar per year, who is able to cover travel to Europe independently, and who wishes to do research in Sweden, to visit for a maximum of one month.

Terms of the Awards:
The Swedish Academy will be responsible for the cost of accommodation and a per diem during the scholar's visit, for a maximum of one month, up to the sum of 40,000SEK. Guest lectures or seminars would be nice, but not a requirement. Should the scholar be working elsewhere in Europe, it is possible that the Australian Academy of the Humanities will meet the cost of fares between the scholar's place of residence in Europe and Sweden.

Elegibility:
The Award is open to all established Australian scholars working in a discipline under the auspices of the Academy of the Humanities. A reciprocal arrangement covers the cost of one Swedish scholar to visit Australia per year.

Closing Date:
This programme is now closed for 2008. We expect the programme to re-open in 2009. Closing date for the programme is close of business Thursday 31 July 2009, for visits in the following year.

Reports:
We require a report from scholars involved with the program within two weeks from their return from Sweden or Australia. Four reports from past recipients are available to download:

Applications:
The application form is available for download in Microsoft Word (.DOC, 244KB) format.

Further Information:
