The Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies is an independent institute of advanced study within the University of Helsinki. It provides a top-class, international research environment for scholars in the humanities and social sciences.
Founded in 2001, the Helsinki Collegium has established itself as a creative and inspiring research community and environment, offering time, space, and freedom for research and scholarly interaction. HCAS is the first institute of its kind in Finland and a pioneer in facilitating innovative interdisciplinary research and international research cooperation.
The Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies has a highly competitive international fellowship program. Each year HCAS offers up to 25 fellowships to researchers at different career stages, from Finland and abroad. Both junior postdoctoral researchers and more established senior scholars are welcome to apply. Distinguished scholars from outside Finland can also be appointed by invitation, as HCAS hosts three invitational fellowship programs.
The Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies provides its fellows excellent facilities to pursue their research in an intellectually stimulating and encouraging environment. The fellows have their offices in a peaceful yet centrally located building, which also houses the Collegium's Common Room, the center of various HCAS activities such as symposia, weekly seminars, and coffee breaks.
