Scientific research is one of the main subjects for the Institute.
 The network is growing and consists today of 98 persons.
 The Institute offers researchers to work in the Ödeshög location
 and to use the reference library available there. 
The Institute also establishes contacts and scientific information in digital form.

A new informative possibility for researchers is the annual
 institute summary with indexation and
 glimpses of current research and work in progress.

Exhibitions in Ödeshög is one of the main subjects for the Institute. Last year we presented Ellen Key AtoZ a collective exhibition during the summer. Jessica Fleetwood presented her art two years ago in the summer-exhibition. In 2006 we presented four exhibitions: Irene Nordh, paintings and graffic, utan gränser : Bremer, Key, Wägner, Siw Pihl, paintings and Nobelprize winners.

Since the Swedish governement has proclaimed 2006 a multi cultural year the Institute  chosed to expose three of the most influential women in Swedish history: Fredrika Bremer, Ellen Key and Elin Wägner. They were all controversial and strived to achieve changes in the rigid Swedish 19:th and 20:th century societies. And they all tried to widen the borders for women and men 
(the name of the exhibition was utan gränser = without borders).

The Institute has initiated a useful tool to find books. We offer our services both to the public and to researchers. The main aim is to find rare literature, research material and scientific publications. The search function is one of the main subjects for the Institute.
