Projects and Researchers

The SRII provides both a physical research environment with working places and a library, and acts as a host for third-party funded research projects in Sweden or for internationally funded research projects in need of a local host in Istanbul and Turkey.

The SRII hosts a variety of projects funded by third parties. Overhead costs amount to 20%. Questions on how to host a project at the SRII can be addressed to the director.
