What is better than one launch at Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies? Two launches, obviously! We will start with our annual call for applications to start a Theme in 2027 and go on from there to re-launching history (of sorts).

One registration link for both launches - you can choose which one you would like to attend - but we hope you'll come for both. 

Register as soon as possible, but no later than 4 September:

Pufendorf IAS History Comes Alive (in Swedish)

Introduction of two new initiatives exploring the history of the building as Physicum and Classicum. These initiatives revisit the many layers of knowledge embedded in the house, bringing them back into focus and making them more visible as part of our present environment. 

Our valued colleagues from Historical Museum  Lund University will help us to "bring the statues alive" (this part in Swedish). 

The afternoon continues as an informal interdisciplinary mingle, offering a chance to meet us at Pufendorf IAS, connect with potential collaborators, and exchange ideas across disciplines.
