The Pufendorf Institute calls for themes and Advanced study Groups
The Pufendorf Institute at Lund University is currently calling for proposals for the 2017-2018 themes and Advanced Study Groups.
A "theme" is a project that is centred around one or more current scientific problems, for which solutions and answers require perspectives from several different disciplines.
An Advanced Study Group can be described as a "mini theme" - a group of researchers from at least three different faculties who are working on a common research problem.
How to propose a theme
