Proposals with a Seal of Excellence can receive funding from the Swedish Research Council

In total, 367 applications from researchers with Swedish host departments were assessed. In addition to the 55 who were awarded funding by the EU, a further 111 applications received marks that correspond to a ‘Seal of Excellence’.

Those who have been given this quality seal, but have not been funded by the EU, may be contacted, based on the placement on the Swedish ranking list, to receive funding from the Swedish Research Council. It is the organisation that is hosting the project – the administrating organisation – that will be contacted.

The administrating organisation must be approved by the Swedish Research Council. In addition to our general grant terms and conditions, specific EU terms and conditions also apply. The grant period is 12–24 months, depending on the grant period applied for in the original application to the EU.
