Humanities & Social Sciences

The Åke Wiberg Foundation provides support for humanities and social science research.

• Grants are given to researchers for printing and production costs for scientific publishing, organizing conferences, and as personal research grants to doctoral researchers for scientific advancement. The latter can finance research time or other costs for a specified research task that does not form part of the applicant’s regular activities within an employment at a university or college.
• The foundation also awards annually, following nominations from deans at invited faculties, a three-year grant (Åke Wiberg’s major grant in humanities/social sciences) that finances a postdoctoral position in a specified field.
