The Bernadotte Programme

The Bernadotte Programme aims to offer higher education (at postdoctoral level, after having completed an artistic degree or equivalent) for outstanding young talents who are becoming established as leading practitioners within their individual fields. One basic idea is that every project should involve at least two academies' areas of expertise in some form, for example in combinations of arts and forms of knowledge, and should thereby make use of the academies' different capacities.
