KAW Proof of Concept Grant

This is a new call launched by KAW together with SciLifeLab in the spring of 2023.

The purpose of the Proof of Concept grant is to bridge the gap from academic research to innovations. The grant gives researchers the opportunity to develop their early-stage discoveries towards validated methods, products or processes and provides the opportunity to carry out activities that validate and accelerate the development of the project and prepare for innovation and commercialization.

Eligable to apply for this grant are researchers who have or have previously had a Wallenberg grant (as main applicant or co-applicant), as well as researchers who are part of Wallenberg-funded initiatives, e.g. WISE, DDLS, SciLifeLab (as fellow, group leader or infrastructure personnel).
