QoG visiting scholar program

The aim of the Visiting Scholar Program is to provide intellectual impetus for the Quality of Government (QoG) Institute. We aim at inviting cutting-edge scholars who conduct studies on issues related to the research carried out at the QoG Institute. Visiting scholars are welcome to stay for one week. Longer stays may also be negotiated. We aim at maximum flexibility in order to increase chances for participation. The only requirement is that the stay in Gothenburg falls within the seminar period (September 1 – December 15 and January 15 – June 10).
