Forte announces Conference Grant 2025 (Sweden)

The financial support is intended for national conferences within their research areas, held in Sweden and open to all researchers in the field. They encourage to include international elements such as invited speakers. However, international conferences and congresses are not financed via this call. Forte can contribute to the financing of Nordic conferences, if the added value of the Swedish hosting is made clear.

Funding Information

• The maximum grant amount is SEK 300,000. The project duration is one year with a three-month period for utilisation after the project period, which means that there is a total of 15 months to arrange the conference.

Eligibility Criteria

• Doctoral degree
  • To apply for a grant under this call for proposals, you must have obtained a doctoral degree no later than the closing date of the call for proposals.
• Reporting for previous grants
  • The main applicant must have submitted the final report for any previously approved grants from Forte within the reporting deadline. This only applies to grants where the deadline for final reporting has passed. Any previously granted extensions of project duration, and consequently of reporting deadlines, will be taken into account.
