Apply for printing grants

• Permanently employed teachers (professors and senior lecturers) at Uppsala University, including retirees. A senior lecturer must hold a doctorate based on completed examinations (or the equivalent) or be an honorary doctor (doctor honoris causa).
• Library staff and other staff (including retirees) at Uppsala University’s academic departments. Such staff must hold a doctorate based on completed examinations (or the equivalent) or be an honorary doctor.
• Active docents at Uppsala University, i.e. docents who can demonstrate regular engagement in teaching or research at the University. Eligibility applies whether the docent is currently employed or retired.

• Grants are normally awarded only for part of the total cost.
  
• Do not begin printing the book until your application has been reviewed. You should therefore submit your application well in advance of publication, but not before reliable information on production/publication costs is available and you have a realistic date for when the manuscript will be ready for printing.
  
• Indicate the amount requested, as well as whether you have applied for or received funding from other sources.
  
• Funding is provided for publication costs. Grants may also cover translation costs (including proofreading). To receive payment for such costs, you must submit an invoice. If your application does not include a final publishing contract, a copy must be provided before the grant is paid out.
  
• If you are applying for a book to be published as part of Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis (AUU), please specify which series it will appear in and attach permission to publish from the series editor.
  
• Attach a quotation to your application. If the application is for a book in any of the AUU series, include a quotation from UUP Bokproduktion.
  
• No printing grants are awarded for doctoral theses.

Applications to the Vilhelm Ekman University Fund are submitted via the form below.

• You are responsible for ensuring your application is complete and submitted on time. Late applications will be considered in the next round. Incomplete applications are declined.
  
• The application must include all the details required to meet the Fund’s conditions (see above).
  
• If you are submitting an anthology or edited collection, please list the authors and titles of all contributions. You may include short abstracts for each article. You must provide evidence of eligibility for all authors where relevant. Not all authors in a collection need to be eligible, but grants are only awarded in proportion to the share of authors who qualify.
  
• Eligibility can, for example, be demonstrated with an official document showing employment at Uppsala University or with a letter from the head of department confirming eligibility.
  
• If you wish, you may also attach manuscripts and/or letters of recommendation.

Application form for Printing Grants from the Vilhelm Ekman University Fund

• All authors or editors of books in the Acta series are eligible to apply.

Authors of works in an AUU series who are also eligible for funding from the Vilhelm Ekman University Fund may apply to both the Editorial Committee and the Vilhelm Ekman University Fund.

• Funding is normally awarded only for part of the total cost.
  
• Do not begin printing until your application has been processed. You should therefore submit your application in good time before publication, but not so early that reliable cost estimates for production/publication are unavailable, or that the date by which your manuscript will be print-ready is unclear.
  
• You must attach permission to publish from the series editor, along with a quotation from UUP Bokproduktion.
  
• Please note that permission to publish from the series editor does not guarantee a printing grant.
  
• No printing grants are awarded for doctoral theses.

According to the decision of the Editorial Committee for Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis (2 June 2004, § 5):

• A two-year window (from the decision date) applies to the approved grant. The applicant must request payment within this period.
• Payment of the grant is usually made when the applicant is invoiced for printing costs.
• If the grant has been awarded for purposes other than printing, payment is made upon presentation of an invoice, provided the invoice was not already included with the application.
  

If you do not use the approved grant, you must promptly inform the Editorial Committee that the funding will remain unused.

• Applications for funding to print scholarly works in an AUU series must be submitted via the form below by 1 April or 1 November. If 1 April or 1 November falls on a public holiday or Saturday, the next working day becomes the deadline.
• You are responsible for ensuring your application is complete and submitted on time. Late applications will be considered in the next round. Incomplete applications are declined.
