Deadline: 17 October 2024
The Forte is inviting applications for its Network Grants to stimulate exchanges and contacts between researchers from different disciplines and different parts of the country to collaborate within Forte’s fields of research or coordination areas.
Network grants aim to make it easier for a group of researchers from a number of research environments to exchange experiences and develop collaborations through repeated gatherings over a longer period.
The purpose of network grants is to make it easier for researchers from different disciplines and different parts of the country to collaborate within Forte’s fields of research or coordination areas. The networks may include researchers in countries other than Sweden, however the coordinator must be linked to an administrating organisation in Sweden. On the other hand, Forte does not make grants to networks within a single organisation. The network must meet regularly and at least once a year. Forte prioritises networks that include junior researchers and where meetings are held in a variety of locations in the country. Grants are made for three years and primarily to networks that promote interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary collaborations or networks with the aim of promoting the application/implementation and utilisation of research. The networks should have a broad composition in terms of subject expertise, career age and gender. Examples of costs that can be covered by a network grant include:
- Transportation expenses and per diem for network participants in connection with meetings.
- Costs incurred for the production and distribution of newsletters.
- Costs incurred for setting up electronic networks, websites and seminars.
Funding Information
- For this call a budget of about SEK 7 million is available.
- You can apply for a maximum of SEK 450,000 for three years.
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.
