The Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study (SCAS) was founded in 1985 through an initiative of Swedish research councils and Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (Swedish Foundation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, RJ). It is a national scientific institution, chartered by the Government of Sweden as an institute for advanced study, mainly in the social and human sciences.
