Apply for equal opportunity funds
Students, employees, and organisations or associations at Uppsala University are welcome to apply for funding to finance actions that will improve equal opportunities at the University.
A total of SEK 430 000 is announced. The maximum amount that can be applied for through individual applications is SEK 150,000. The applications are processed by the Equal Opportunities Advisory Board, and the final allocation is decided by the Vice-Chancellor.
Preference can be given to applications that contain co-financing from the department, faculty, division, unit, or equivalent.
It is desirable that your department/equivalent also contributes funds.
Allocated funds must be requisitioned during the calendar year in which they were granted and can be used one year after the decision on allocation.
The application must be submitted no later than 5 pm, 9 October 2025.
A webinar on applying for funding will take place on 25 September from 2 to 4 pm via Zoom.
Instructions to apply for equal opportunities funding
Application form
The application shall contain
- a detailed description of purpose, theoretical background, question formulation and possible hypothesis

Furthermore, the application should

Tips!
If the intention is to employ an external lecturer, it is good if the proposed lecturer is named.
If the application is for a series of seminars with tentative topics and speakers, it is good to include the topics and speakers in the application.
An informative and detailed budget increases the chances of the application being approved.
