Our research
Södertörn University conducts extensive research, focusing on the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe, at all academic schools. Many research projects are funded via the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies, while others receive funding from other sources. With a focus on critical area studies, CBEES, the Centre for Baltic and East European Studies, is the university’s research centre for research on the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe.
CBEES’ task is to promote research in the area and to encourage and develop it. The centre should also be a dynamic meeting place for Swedish and international research. CBEES plays a particularly important role for research thanks to the international relations and networks that have been built up over the years. CBEES’s ambition is to be a knowledge hub for the research in the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe.
Research at Södertörn University is conducted in the fields of social science, the humanities, natural science and technology. Much of the focus on the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe is characterised by its multidisciplinarity.
We also regularly publish the international journal Baltic Worlds, which gathers new research. For more information, please contact Ninna Mörner.
