The Åland Islands Peace Institute can receive research fellows who are active within the institute’s research area for a period of severals weeks to several months. The design of a successful residency generally requires good planning in advance.

The aim of research fellowship activities is partly to establish new and maintain existing contacts with research institutions, civil society organisations, and others, thereby enriching the material for our report series and the JASS publication; and it is partly to offer researchers the opportunity to become acquainted with Åland and the Åland Example thus making new contacts here.

The Åland Islands Peace Institute can offer research fellows a stimulating work environment, contacts, and access to our library. The Peace Institute both collaborates with established researchers who visit Åland and participate in specific projects and seminars, as well as with young researchers who will be offered the opportunity to spend several weeks or months on Åland researching and writing.  The Peace Institute, through the report series “Report from the Åland Islands Peace Institute” and the digital journal JASS, highlight young researchers and qualitative research within the institute’s areas of interest. 

If you are active within the Peace Institute’s research area and are interested in being a research fellow at the Åland Islands Peace Institute, you are welcomed to contact us with your inquiries. Research fellows from or active in other autonomies or conflict-affected areas are especially welcomed.
