RJ Fellowship
As funding challenges continue to impact the humanities and social sciences, CAS is taking proactive steps to support researchers in these disciplines. CAS is therefore particularly happy for its partnership with Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (RJ).
As part of RJ’s strategic efforts to increase the internationalization of Swedish research in the humanities and social sciences, the three-year Nordic Fellowship Programme was established.
RJ's generous donation enables SSH scholars from Swedish research institutions to become RJ Fellows and enjoy a fully paid residential fellowship at CAS.
The donation from RJ gives an exceptional opportunity not only to the RJ fellow but also to CAS Research Grant (CRG) projects within social science and humanities. The RJ Fellows will contribute to their research, without adding costs to their CAS budget. Our first RJ Fellow joined CAS in August 2025 for a one-year stay, and the feedback from the host research group has been overwhelmingly positive.
Two new RJ Fellows will relocate to Oslo and join CAS for one semester each in the 2026/2027 academic year. For the third and final year of the program, in 2027/2028, two of the newly elected CRG projects will benefit from this unique programme and will include RJ Fellows in their teams.
The RJ fellows will receive a fully paid sabbatical, with all administrative arrangements managed by CAS. The fellowship covers accommodation and travel to and from the researcher’s home institution in Sweden and provides the fellow with the same exceptional academic environment, support, and resources as all CAS fellows.
Adding an RJ Fellow to the CRG team offers several benefits. It:
- strengthens the Nordic network by including a researcher from a Swedish institution.
- increases the competitiveness and visibility of the project through the support from RJ, a prestigious Swedish research foundation.
- expands the CRG team at no additional cost, as the RJ Fellow is fully funded and does not affect the project budget.
The Nordic Fellowship Programme is no longer accepting new fellows. For further details about the RJ Fellowship, please contact the administration at CAS >
