RELAX can provide funds to cover travel and accommodation costs, up to a maximum of 15,000 SEK, for invited acknowledged experts (users or facility scientists) at large-scale experimental facilities to KTH to give a seminar. The invited expert should be affiliated with an international institution.

If you want to invite an acknowledged expert within large-scale experimental facilities (user or facility scientist) to KTH to give a seminar, RELAX can help with funds to cover the cost for the travelling and accommodation up to max 15'000 SEK, but we reserve the right to reduce the funding as found appropriate. The invited speaker should be affiliated with an international institution. The seminar should be a 45 mins talk (or longer) and has to take place minimum 3 weeks after the application is submitted (to give time to make PR for the seminar).

Application

To apply, send an e-mail to RELAX responsible Martin Månsson with the subject line "RELAX Funding": condmat@kth.se containing the following information:

  1. Specify that this is an application for funding "RELAX Seminar"
  2. Write an explanation to who you plan to invite and a brief explanation of why such person would be valuable to invite to KTH
  3. Attach a short CV of the invited speaker
  4. Specify when (Date/Time) and where (KTH Room) the seminar will take place
  5. Attach a title and short abstract for the seminar (will be published on the RELAX homepage)
  6. Write how much funding you request and motivate it with a short but descriptive budget

After the seminar a short news-flash about the seminar (one paragraph + appropriate photo) should be submitted to RELAX. The news-flash will be published on the RELAX homepage. Only after such news-flash is received, the funding will be transferred to the PI of the project.
