ELLIIT is now inviting proposals by potential organizers willing to host focus periods in the spring or autumn of 2028.
The ELLIIT focus period program is an ambitious guest and exchange program for international top-level researchers. The objective is to create environments where ELLIIT researchers can work under optimal circumstances in collaboration with other internationally established scientists around a specific (usually cross-disciplinary) research topic. Here you can read more about the Focus period program.
A proposal should include (a) Description of the research area, (b) Suggested names of scientific program committee, (c) Motivation of the topic and relevance for ELLIIT and (d) Name of responsible organizer, co-organizers and your local administrator who will be responsible for the administrative and practical arrangements in collaboration with the ELLIIT central coordinator. Ensure that the relevant head of department or equivalent is aware of the upcoming assignment which is expected to start early 2027.
Further details about the call can be found here: ELLIIT focus period call for proposals 2028.
The application should be saved as a single PDF file, which is to be sent to Angela Sanseverino at the address elliit-info@liu.se
Deadline for proposals: October 23, 2026.
On behalf of the focus period program office, we look forward to receiving your proposal.
