New grant for recruiting researchers active outside Europe
Bildtext
In mid-April, the Swedish Research Council will issue a call for grants of 2 million SEK to enable Swedish higher education institutions and other research organisations to recruit prominent researchers who are active outside Europe.
The new support for recruiting international visiting researchers to Sweden is intended to cover the expenses relating to the recruitment and the researcher’s salary during the initial period.
Those that can apply for the grant are Swedish higher education institutions (HEIs) or other research organisations that wish to recruit, or have recently recruited, a researcher who was established outside Europe for at least two years. The researcher will be employed by the HEI, and shall have the ambition to establish their research in Sweden.
The grant period is 12 months, and the grant amount is 2 million SEK.
