This fund is open to all areas and we encourage applicants from any discipline to submit proposals.

This initiative stems out of a series of meetings between the senior leadership teams and an online workshop for academic staff which took place in December 2020. Further workshops were held in Stockholm in April 2022 and six key research areas were identified in which to develop collaborations: digital trust, privacy and security; sustainability and circular economy; molecular biosciences; water; inequalities in higher education and quantum science.
Applicants are encouraged to develop cross- disciplinary projects with attention to complementary areas including e.g. social science, behavioural science, environmental science, research ethics etc.

We will give priority to trilateral proposals (involving all three partners) but strong bilateral projects are also encouraged. Please note that UoM must be a partner in any bilateral project i.e. a KTH and SU bilateral project would not be eligible for this call.
If you are looking for collaborators at one of the partner universities, please get in touch with us
(contact details at the end of the document) and we will help identify researchers with similar interests. Proposals will be assessed and recommended for selection by a panel composed of academic staff from all 3 partners.

Deadline for submission: Wednesday 14 June (12 noon UK time, 1pm Swedish time)
