INEZ AND JULIUS POLIN INSTITUTE FOR THEOLOGICAL RESEARCH is our official name, but we go by The Polin Institute. We are an independent research institute within Åbo Akademi University. Currently the content of our web site is primarily in Swedish.
Are you a doctoral student or a postdoctoral researcher within the field of theology? The Polin Institute has scholarships and research grants for both researchers and students. The research must be conducted at Åbo Akademi University.
The Polin Institute gets its name from our donors, Inez and Julius Polin. Julius Polin (1869-1960) was a businessman and a philanthropist. Both he and his wife Inez (née Blomberg, 1885-1966) were known for their support of Swedish speaking culture in Finland. In the 1930’s, they established a fund honoring Julius Polin’s ancestors who were priests and had studied at the Royal Åbo Akademi. Some 80 years later, the Polin Institute was founded.
