CAS is excited to announce our new partner institution!

‘It is very rare to have the opportunity to concentrate so much on one project with a group of people as what CAS allows. For us, I think it would be safe to say that the fruits of CAS are materialising along two lines – the books we produced there, and the spinoffs that only now are starting to pop up.’ Hans Jakob Orning, professor of history at UiO and a former CAS project leader, said when thinking back at his year at the centre.

Victor Greiff and Benjamin Schneider are the two new early career scholars selected for the Young CAS Fellow programme.

We are proud to announce that we for the first time have project leaders from BI and CICERO. Moreover, as part of a new strategy, the CAS board of directors has for the first time decided to extend invitations to four groups.

‘The question “What are the facts?” must be supplemented with another one: “How do these facts make sense to people, and why?”’, said former CAS project leader and professor at the University of Oslo Eivind Engebretsen.

‘The use of logical-mathematical tools enables us to state philosophical questions and answers with far greater precision than would otherwise have been possible,’ said Øystein Linnebo.

Nani Teig and Ida-Marie Høyvik are the two new early-career scholars selected for the Young CAS Fellow programme.

Ida-Marie Høyvik’s Young CAS Fellow project seeks to develop a new framework to describe and better understand photoactivated processes related to electron transport or electron exchange between molecular systems.

How can we help all students reach their full potential? Nani Teig’s Young CAS Fellow project will examine the academic resilience of disadvantaged students who succeed in school despite the odds against them.
