The Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) supports excellent, fundamental and curiosity-driven research.
CAS’s primary objective is to provide its fellows with uninterrupted time to engage in research that does not have to yield short-term returns.
CAS supports established scholars through the CAS Research Grant and promising young scholars through the Young CAS Grant.
The CAS Research Grant is the Centre’s funding opportunity for established researchers. Each year, CAS hosts three research groups engaging in research within and across the following fields: humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Recipients can invite scholars from around the world, at any career stage, to participate in their projects.
The Young CAS Grant, previously known as the Young CAS Fellowship, is designed for early-career scholars under the age of 40. Recipients receive funding and support for their research projects. They also gain valuable experience in organizing multiple workshops and by leading a two-month research stay at the Centre.
Applications for the CAS Research Grant are accepted once a year, while the Young CAS Grant accepts applications twice a year. All applicants must register as users on UNIFOR.
