We fund research in all scientific fields
Much of our research funding goes to projects where researchers themselves have formulated the research questions and developed methods for answering these.
Some of our calls for research projects include a specific thematic focus. Other grants aim to facilitate career development for researchers and increase their mobility within the research community.
Information about all research projects can be found in Swecris
We are responsible for six national research programs
The national research programmes are ten-year initiatives, aimed at coordinating research within a particular area. Each programme gathers together actors with complementary knowledge, competences and mandates, to work together to improve our ability to manage the societal challenges indicated by the Government.
The programmes support multi-disciplinary research, and shall function as a link to international research collaborations. They are also intended to contribute to increasing the connection to research in higher education.
This national research programme aims to preserve the opportunities for effective treatment of bacterial infections in humans and animals.
This national research programme highlights the causes and consequences of migration. How can we create inclusive societies?
The research programme in crime shall add new knowledge about the causes and consequences of criminality, and also about methods for preventing and fighting crime.
The research programme is part of the Government’s strategy and action plan to counteract and reduce segregation in Sweden. It covers research in all scientific fields, and also cross-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary approaches.
The research programme shall contribute new knowledge about how digitalisation impacts on and is impacted by social and cultural relationships, working life, education, organisations, markets, and the democratic system, including public administration.
