GEXcel is an international research centre for excellent gender research. 

The research centre is hosted by the inter-university Institute of Thematic Gender Studies of the universities of Linköping and Örebro, Sweden. The institute is a unique new unit for interdisciplinary gender research and education, creating a framework for close collaboration between 

* Department of Gender Studies, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Linköping University
