Pufendorf IAS Theme Launch - and Historic Re-launch

11 September 2026 13:30 to 15:30 |
Photo collage: Window with greenery and interior staircase with statue.
Launches at Pufendorf - twice in one afternoon.

What is better than one launch at Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies? Two launches, obviously!
The afternoon begins with information about our call for applications to start an interdisciplinary research group at Pufendorf IAS and goes 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

Pufendorf IAS History Comes Alive (in Swedish)

The building now housing the Pufendorf Institute has a great history, history still visible in our workplace. But why do we have statues and friezes here? 

Our valued colleagues from Historical Museum  Lund University will help us to "bring the statues alive".

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. Sparkling beverages will be served.
