Approved research networks
| Project title | Project manager | Grant administrator | Amount granted |
|---|---|---|---|
| UniSus: The role of universities in sustainable development. Collaboration, academic freedom and cross-sectoral contributions | Peter Dobers | Södertörn University, School of Social Sciences | SEK 143,000 |

Research networks support either creating new networks of researchers or maintaining already established ones. The networks must themselves initiate research and serve the purpose of contributing to future research through academic meetings and contacts where researchers can define, delimit and formulate research ideas that may eventually culminate in applications for research funds. The financial scope is maximum SEK 150,000 per network.
