On 23 September 1991, to commemorate 750 years since the death of Snorri Sturluson, the Icelandic government established a fellowship grant fund in his name. According to the grant’s guidelines issued in 1992, the funds shall be used annually to invite foreign authors, translators, and scholars to spend time in Iceland to increase their knowledge and awareness of the Icelandic language, culture, and society. The fellowships are offered for at least three months to cover the fellows’ travel costs and accommodation in Iceland.

The call for Snorri Sturluson Fellowships for 2025 was announced last September with a deadline of 1 December. The fellows for this year are as follows.

Dr. Sigrun Borgen Wik, Nord University in Bodø, Norway, will examine depictions of incitement and honour in the sagas.

Dr. Théo de Borba Moosburger, Catholic University of Paraná, Brasil, will be working on the third and final volume of his book “Lendo em Nórdico” (Reading in Norse) for teaching Old Norse to speakers of Portuguese language.
