The peace institute co-operates both with established researchers who visit Åland and participate in specific projects and seminars, as well as younger researchers who are given the possibility of spending a few weeks or months on Åland in order to research and write. The peace institute has several established contacts with research institutes and other organisations in the Nordic region and in Europe. These contacts will be strengthened and developed in coming years, for instance through different forms of exchange and joint activities. The ÅIPI can offer guest researchers a stimulating environment, interesting contacts and access to our library and resources. However, our resources are limited with regard to premises and tutorship as well as financing, why co-operation must be planned well in advance and co-operation that includes joint tutoring and financing is prioritized. If you are interested in visiting the ÅIPI as a research fellow, you are most welcome to contact us. Please describe your research plan, areas of interest, previous work, CV, institutional affiliations and your wishes about what period of time and for how long you would intend to stay. For queries, please contact Director Sia Spiliopoulou Åkermark sia(at)peace.ax Our research programme can be found here. Former research fellows: |
