I have arrived today at the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies! 🙂

The Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies (HCAS) is an independent institute of advanced study within the University of Helsinki. It provides a top-class, international research environment for scholars in the humanities and social sciences.

I am in Helsinki to pursue my research on ancient alphabetic scripts, especially Hebrew and Aramaic inscriptions. I will benefit from the support of such Finnish colleagues as Martti Nissinen or Jutta Jokiranta.

For more information on HCAS, please visit their website.
