At the End of the World is housed at the Centre for Theology and Religious Studies, a department within Lund University's Joint Faculties of the Humanities and Theology.

Soundscapes of Warning (2024–2026): The aim of this project is to trace the intellectual, political, material, and cultural development trajectories of the Swedish public warning system VMA (Viktigt meddelande till allmänheten / Important Public Announcement) in order to make a substantial and historically informed research contribution to a clear articulation and communication of policy in the area of sonic public warnings in crisis and war. Members from At the End of the World involved with Soundscapes of Warning include Marie Cronqvist who work with their colleagues Iben Bjørnsson, Rosanna Farbøl, Elin Franzén, and Emil Stjernholm. The project is housed at Linköping University and is funded by the Swedish Research Council.

Käte Hamburger Centre for Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies (CAPAS): The Käte Hamburger Center for Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies at Heidelberg University focuses on the question of how catastrophes and end-time scenarios affect societies, individuals and environments. The aim is to describe past and present system upheavals and collapses in a differentiated way on the basis of a transdisciplinary research approach and to distinguish between them. The reactions to apocalyptic scenarios as well as future designs for the time after the catastrophe are also to be understood, analysed and questioned against the background of their respective historical and cultural frameworks.

Funding for At the End of the World is provided by Sweden's Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (The Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation).
