2025 Hagströmer fellowship: a residential fellowship in the history of medicine and
related sciences
The Hagströmer Medico-Historical Library of Karolinska Institutet and the Catarina and
Sven Hagströmer Foundation are now accepting applications for the 2025 Hagströmer
Fellowship.
The fellowship is a short to medium term research fellowship which provides a high level
of integration at the Hagströmer Library in central Stockholm. We encourage applications
from postdoctoral or senior researchers in the field of history of medicine and/or related
sciences (early modern to twentieth-century). The library is a part of the medical
university Karolinska Institutet, and its collections contains Sweden’s largest
collections in the history of medicine and related sciences, includes more than 100 000
monographs published between c. 1480 and 2000, extensive manuscript collections and c.
1300 medical and scientific journals.
Detailed description
The Hagströmer Fellowship is a residential fellowship (2-6 months) which supports a
scholar who will travel to Stockholm to conduct research in the Hagströmer library during
2025.
A sum of EUR 10 000 from The Catarina and Sven Hagströmer Foundation will be made
available to cover accommodation, travel, cost of living in Stockholm, and additional
insurance, if needed.
Visiting scholar status at the Hagströmer library grants a workplace/ personal desk at the
Hagströmer Library and access to collections (Mondays to Thursdays) for the duration of
the stay. Please note, however, that the library is closed for summer between June, 21 and
August 18. Affiliation status at KI grants an email address and use of library resources
at Karolinska Institutet Library (KIB), including full access to scholarly databases and
journals in medical sciences. The Hagströmer library expects the Fellow to spend a minimum
of two months in Stockholm, to present their work at a public lecture at the library, to
use the Hagströmer Library as their primary place of work, to engage with our collections
and to write a short popular text about their work at the library.

Catarina and Sven Hagströmer Foundation
