Forum for Jewish Studies (FJS) is an interdisciplinary organization and network at Uppsala University. Our mission is to support research and education in Jewish studies broadly, e.g., Jewish history, Judaism, Jewish culture, Hebrew language, and the Jewish minority in Sweden. FJS cooperates with other universities in Sweden, Europe, and Israel. The Forum offers seminars, both on campus and online, together with Paideia – The European Institute for Jewish Studies in Sweden – situated in Stockholm.
In addition, FJS organizes lectures as well as conferences and publishes the series Uppsala Jewish Studies (from 2021) as part of the Uppsala University series Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis.
