The Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities

The Academy promotes and supports research by funding research projects, research positions, publications, symposia, conferences, projects in internationalisation and digitisation, travel grants, and scholarships. It has several research collaborations with universities and research funding bodies, including the Swedish Research Council, Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, and Sweden’s other royal academies. The Academy also collaborates with international learned societies and national academies. It provides expertise when asked by government committees or official commissions of inquiry or when its own interests require it. At the Annual Meeting, held annually on March 20 to mark its foundation, Vitterhetsakademien acknowledges leading researchers through prizes, awards, and medals. Vitterhetsakademien publishes its own journals and book series and supports important scholarly journals.
