This year’s granted applications for research networks

2025-05-06

At its meeting on 5 May 2025, the Board of the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies granted support to seven research networks that promote research initiation and internationalization.

The research networks are awarded support to start new or further develop existing networks between researchers. The aim is to create research-initiating meeting places where researchers can exchange ideas and develop research questions that can lead to future applications for research funding. Priority is given to networks with mainly international participants.

The maximum grant awarded is SEK 150,000 per network for one year. Swedish higher education institutions can act as grant administrators for the networks, provided collaboration is with researchers at Södertörn University.

The start date for the approved networks is 1 September 2025.
