Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Programme Statement<\/em> states the focus of the funding provided by the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies. The Statement<\/em>, which relates to the period from 2020 to 2030, is continuously followed up by the Board and evaluated after three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The aim of the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies is defined in its Statutes. The overarching aim of the Foundation is:\n\nThe Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies\u2019 support for research, doctoral studies and scientific infrastructure should generate research of the highest possible quality, at S\u00f6dert\u00f6rn University, in areas related to the Baltic Sea Region and Eastern Europe.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Within the framework of the customary requirements of scientific quality and relevance to the Baltic Sea Region and Eastern Europe, four priorities clarify the intentions underlying the Foundation\u2019s forms of support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, all research is conducted in an international arena, and internationalisation is a means of enhancing quality in research and doctoral studies. The demand for internationalisation is emphasised by the Foundation\u2019s focus on research in areas related to the Baltic Sea Region and Eastern Europe. Priority is given to support for international collaboration, network building and mobility of researchers and doctoral students. Other priorities of the Foundation are strategic alliances and updating of the forms of internationalisation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Creative research environments of high quality are distinguished not only by strong international networks but by a sound balance between a core of permanently employed researchers and an inflow of others employed in projects and engaged temporarily. This balance provides scope for innovative ideas, and is necessary for research environments to continue and develop. These environments are attractive to visiting researchers and external recruits. The Foundation prioritises support for all the various academic career stages and for strategic recruitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For high-quality research, sustainable infrastructure is essential. Growing digitisation is imposing new requirements on, and generating new opportunities and conditions for, research and dissemination of research results and data. Needs \u2014 for huge amounts of data to be stored, transferred and analysed, and to be accessible and reproducible \u2014 are growing rapidly. Access to suitable technology and laboratories of various kinds is crucial. The Foundation gives priority to supporting activities that strengthen scientific infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A strong research environment is characterised by cooperation with the local community, dissemination of information about work in progress and practical use of research findings. These activities call for cooperation with all the relevant stakeholders both within and outside academia, abroad as well as in Sweden. The Foundation prioritises support for activities that improve accessibility, cooperation and visibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies Purpose This Programme Statement states the focus of…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1478,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1876","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
