HCAS 25th Anniversary Celebration

This year, the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies celebrates its 25th anniversary. Established in 2001, the Collegium was founded to follow the original Institute for Advanced Study model by providing outstanding scholars in the humanities and social sciences with the freedom necessary for cutting-edge, curiosity-driven research. Over the past quarter-century, the Collegium has grown into a vibrant international community known for its collegial and multidisciplinary atmosphere.

In addition to the main celebration, the Collegium organizes various events during the three first weeks of June.
