Visiting scholars
The Nordic Centre has eight office spaces for visiting scholars, i.e. academics from our member universities who come to Shanghai to conduct research, collaborate with partners in their field, or other purposes. Durations can vary from a few days to many months.
We offer the visiting scholars help with such things as getting in contact with relevant Chinese researchers, practicalities of locating to China temporarily, library and IT facilities, business cards, and more. Please read our HANDBOOK FOR VISITING SCHOLARS to learn more about this opportunity.
Please write to veli-matti.palomaki(at)nordiccentre.net to book a space or hear more -- but please do read the handbook first as it probably answers many of your questions.
Due to the pandemic, we were not able to accept visiting scholars between 2020 and 2022, but as of 2023, with the reopening of China’s borders, we are once again welcoming visitors to the Nordic Centre.
