The Birgit Rausing Language Programme

Lund University and the subjects of Chinese and Linguistics have received a major donation from Birgit Rausing. The Birgit Rausing Language Programme will award SEK 15 million over at least ten years. From an organisational point of view, the programme is linked to the Centre for Languages and Literature. Every year, scholarships are advertised in the subjects of Linguistics and Chinese.

The management group for the Birgit Rausing Language Programme appoints the scholarship recipients. The management group consists of two representatives of the subjects of Chinese and Linguistics respectively and professor Lynn Åkesson is the chair. 

The Birgit Rausing Language Programme will be closed down during 2023-2024. No more grants will be announced.
