CBEES
The Centre for Baltic and East European Studies (CBEES) is a multidisciplinary research centre focusing on the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe.
The centre's task is to coordinate the university's research, postgraduate education and other activities that focus on the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe. Our aim is to be a leader in academic research into the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe.
The Baltic and East European Graduate School (BEEGS) is part of CBEES. The journal Baltic Worlds, a quarterly scholarly journal and news magazine, is published by CBEES.
BEEGS - Baltic and East European Graduate School
The Baltic and East European Graduate School (BEEGS) is located at Södertörn University in south Stockholm, Sweden. BEEGS is part of the Centre for Baltic and East European Studies, CBEES.
BEEGS is a unique environment for research studies in the Swedish academic world. The international composition of doctoral students, the multidisciplinary emphasis of the postgraduate studies combined with specific discipline studies and a special emphasis on regional studies of the Baltic area and Eastern Europe creates specialists with a very particular expertise.
BEEGS is financed by a grant from the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies (Östersjöstiftelsen).
Applications for admission to BEEGS are invited once per year. Applicants from all countries are welcome to apply and a number of doctoral students are admitted each year. The language of instruction is English and fluency in English is required.
Up until 2010 the graduate school has been run in cooperation with other Swedish universities, where the doctoral candidates have been formally registered.
Since Södertörn University obtained the right to confer doctorates in June 2010, most of the future doctoral students at BEEGS will be enrolled at Södertörn University within the following four research areas Historical Studies; Cultural Theory; Environmental Studies; and Politics, Economy and the Organization of Society.
For former doctoral students within BEEGS there is a network called SH DoctorAlumni. The purpose is to develop and strengthen relations between those who have finished their doctor´s degrees, and to strengthen their relation with Södertörn University and CBEES.
