INSTITUTE FELLOWS,
ASSOCIATED FELLOWS AND RESEARCH NETWORK
The institute currently has a core group of 14 people, in addition to its national and international network of scholars and institutions. Institute Fellows are currently actively involved in PHI's main research projects, or are otherwise integral to the management of the Institute. Associated Fellows are people who work or have worked on PHI projects, all of whom are in regular contact with PHI on current research projects, ideas for future research or engaged in other types of collaboration. Honorary Fellows are people who are close to the institute without being active researchers. For general questions, please write to institute@philology.no.
