Call text in full

The Swedish Research Council intends primarily to support new collaborations, or alternatively established collaborations aimed at new scientific challenges. The applicant shall therefore be a constellation of several researchers with differing scientific backgrounds, who are working towards a common, previously not established research goal in the long term. The goals of the research shall be enabled through the synergy between the participating researchers.

Within the framework for this call, the Swedish Research Council is intending to fund around 9 grants for research environments, without any requirement for a particular focus within natural and engineering sciences research. In the evaluation of applications received, particular weight will be placed on the application describing a collaboration with clear synergy and novelty value in terms of the applicant’s constellation or research goals.
