Berit Wallenbergs Stiftelse funds research in archaeology, art history, and cultural history, with a clear preference for projects connected to Sweden and the other Nordic countries, especially work on material from before the end of the 19th century. The foundation supports the field at multiple stages, from fully or partially funded PhD positions to larger research projects and smaller grants for fieldwork, publications, symposia, and research travel. Its grantees suggest a strong interest in historically grounded, material-culture research tied to museums, heritage institutions, and university scholars.
