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)

Introduction of two new initiatives exploring the history of the building as Physicum and Classicum. These initiatives revisit the many layers of knowledge embedded in the house, bringing them back into focus and making them more visible as part of our present environment. 

Our valued colleagues from Historical Museum  Lund University will help us to "bring the statues alive" (this part in Swedish). 

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 and light refreshments will be served.
