New call - The Swedish Interdisciplinary Graduate School in Register-Based Research (SINGS)
The call will open on 23 February 2026 and close on 23 March 2026 at 14:00. Apply via Prisma.
Swedish registers constitute a unique and powerful resource for research, enabling efficient and cost-effective investigations across a range of disciplines and thereby making a substantial contribution to improving public health and welfare. The Swedish Interdisciplinary Graduate School in Register-Based Research (SINGS) is a two-year programme (10.5 higher education credits) designed to strengthen methodological, practical, ethical, and legal competencies in register-based research. Established in 2010, SINGS has played a key role in training emerging researchers, with continuous funding support from the Swedish Research Council.
SINGS is coordinated by Karolinska Institutet, and six other Swedish higher education institutions take part, namely Stockholm University, Lund University, Linköping University, Umeå University, Uppsala University and University of Gothenburg. SINGS is of relevance to all quantitative research fields that use registers in research, including fields such as epidemiology, public health, sociology, demography, health economics, psychology, criminology, biostatistics, and other related disciplines in the medical and social sciences. The programme begins in fall 2026. Approximately 25 students will be admitted through this call. Admission decisions will be announced in May 2026.
