Calls for proposals in 2026 are open

The calls for proposals in 2026 are open for applications. Deadline for application is 28 January 2026 at 3 p.m. CET.

See instructions for applications for:

• two- and three-year projects
• postdoctoral projects
• smaller grants:
  • research networks
  • conference grants
  • publication grants

The call for grand projects will be on pause in 2026 and is planned to be announced again in 2027. The Foundation encourages researchers to apply for funding for research networks in 2026 in order to prepare for a future application to the call for grand projects in 2027.

All forms of support are open to researchers both in and outside Sweden. For projects, postdoctoral projects and conference grants Södertörn University is the grant administrator. See Södertörn University’s checklist with internal procedures. A Swedish higher education institution may be the grant administrator for support to research networks and publication grants.
