Anders Althins Stiftelse - Anders Althins Scholarship

Anders Althin Scholarship

You will receive a personal research grant from a total fund of 100,000 SEK (about 8,800 EUR) for 2026. The Foundation may award the entire amount to a single researcher or divide it amongst several researchers. You may use the money for research work, pilot studies for research projects and analyses. Printing or translation costs will not be covered. The grant is provided by the Anders Althin Foundation, which has been supporting archaeological research since 1987 in memory of the archaeologist Carl-Axel Althin.
