one-time scholarship of 20.000 SEK contributing to travel and 
accommodation. The fellows can choose the length and timing of their 
stay during the academic year 2023/24 but should stay at least one 
month. Fellows are expected to present their current work during one 
higher seminar at the department. Södertörn University has several guest 
research apartments close to campus and we are happy to put fellows in 
touch with the housing unit at the university. However, we are not able
