We receive a high number of requests each year; unfortunately we are not able to accept all applicants. There is no strict number of applicants accepted each year; the possibility to host a Guest Researcher varies depending on available office spaces and relevance of research project to the Centre for Gender research.
Can the Centre help me find accommodation in Uppsala?
The Centre is not able to provide accommodation for you but once accepted you will receive information about different options how to find a place to stay. We recommend that you start looking for an apartment as soon as possible since Uppsala is a University town and it can be both difficult and expensive to find a place to stay.
