Questions and Answers
How large a scholarship amount can I apply for?
We give doctoral scholarships of SEK 18,000 per month and post-doc scholarships of SEK 25,000 per month.
Can I, as a researcher, apply for research grants?
We primarily award scholarships to doctoral students. Sometimes we can grant research grants for research projects where the project leader has completed their doctoral degree.
The project leader attaches a CV, and the institution's head of department certifies that the project is welcome at the institution.
The grant is primarily intended for direct costs; max 10% overhead is allowed.
Specify cost items i ansökan:
- Materials, equipment, and analysis costs
- Travel/conferences
- Publication
- Other costs
Salary rule: Specify salary that charges the project. Max 55% LKP.
What kind of support can I apply for as a doctoral student?
We award scholarships, which is a tax-free gift for education/studies.
I am a doctoral student and want to apply for your research scholarship. Which account should I specify?
You should specify your own PlusGiro/BankGiro. If none is available, you can specify your bank account number. It is important that you, as a research scholarship applicant, do not specify the research institute's BankGiro/PlusGiro as the research scholarships do not cover the so-called overhead costs of research institutions.
I and research colleagues want to go to a conference. Can I apply for a grant for this?
We very rarely grant funds for conference trips.
Do research scholarships and research grants need to be accounted for?
Yes, we desire a brief account of the project's results after the project is completed. The report is submitted here on our website under the Contact tab.
