Styrelsen för Svenska institutet i Athen ledigförklarar härmed Institutets två stora forskningsstipendier för höstterminen 2025 respektive vårterminen 2026. Stipendierna är avsedda för dem som ägnar sig åt vetenskapligt och självständigt studium av ämnen med koppling till Institutets verksamhet som förutsätter vistelse i Grekland. Studenter och forskare vid svenska universitet samt svenska studenter och forskare knutna till utländska universitet kan söka. Visst företräde ges för sökande från Antikens kultur och samhällsliv, men bedömning sker beroende på ansökningarnas kvalitet och relevans.

In 2023, the Swedish Institute at Athens celebrated it’s 75th anniversary. Thanks to a generous grant from the Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation, the Institute was able to announce four research grants to celebrate this: two grants to Swedish researchers and two to Greek colleagues, to also celebrate 75 years of excellent cooperation between our countries. The four researchers will present the work made possible by the grants on Thursday, December 5, 2024, at 17:00-19:45, at the Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities in Stockholm. It will be an exciting journey that takes us from metalwork in prehistoric times to the architecture of the modern excavation site, via the sanctuary of the goddess Hera on Samos and the sharp sickle of the god Kronos.
