About Khvsu
Kungl. Humanistiska Vetenskaps-Samfundet i Uppsala is an association of researchers primarily from the faculties of history, philosophy and languages, with law and theology also represented. Its members include both active and emeritus professors. The Society has two sections: historical and philosophical studies, and philology.
The Society aims to promote the development of philosophy, history and philology. It does so by awarding grants and prizes, primarily to doctoral students and recent PhD graduates, and by publishing scholarly works, foremost among them the Society's yearbook.
The Society holds meetings at which decisions on grants and prizes are made and members present scholarly lectures followed by discussion. It has also organised seminars and symposia.
