Each year, the Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) hosts three research groups working within and across the following fields: Natural sciences/Medicine/Mathematics, Humanities/Theology, and Social sciences/Law.
The research groups stay at CAS, situated at the stately premises of The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters in Oslo, for one academic year. Each project receives a grant of roughly NOK 3.5 million.
