Securing Pathways to Longevity: HUM:Global Flagship Initiatives
We are delighted to announce that two of our 2024 HUM:Global Flagship Initiatives have secured additional external funding and support which ensure that these projects can extend their own and HUM:Global’s lifespan.
Far right thought in a global perspective
Associate Professor Georg Walter Wink.
In early-December 2025, HUM:Global Co-Director Georg Walter Wink received funding from the Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF) for his network, Lifeworlds of the New Right: Identities, Imaginaries and Idioms of the Global New Right in Everyday Contexts. The network consists of five departments at the University of Copenhagen, Dansk Institut for Internationale Studier (DIIS), and partners at Roskilde University, Aarhus University, and University of Gothenburg. The results will be publicly accessible through online tools being developed in collaboration with the University of Copenhagen Center for Digital and Computational Humanities. This network builds on existing research and collaborations Georg has developed through his HUM:Global Flagship Initiative, Far right thought in a global perspective: traditionalist reactions to Western liberal modernity.
CHIOS – Center for History, Strategy and International Order
Associate Professor Haakon A. Ikonomou.
The University of Copenhagen and Helmut-Schmidt University have signed a Memorandum of Understanding which establishes CHIOS – the Center for History, Strategy, and International Order as an institutional axis between the two universities. Establishing CHIOS has been the long-term goal of HUM: Global Co-Director Haakon A. Ikonomou’s Flagship Initiative. While work within CHIOS has been ongoing since its launch in spring 2024, this MOU allows University of Copenhagen and Helmut-Schmidt University to officially begin collaborative efforts to build and maintain the center. The co-funded center which is built up around three thematic pillars (international orders, strategic conceptualizations of order, technologies and infrastructures of ordering), involves stakeholders from across the globe engaged in academia, civil society, the military, and politics.
