Apply for Institutional Grants

Published 2009-10-20

The Institutional Grants programme is intended for long term cooperation, within all areas of higher education and research and with all countries. An IGP project may include more than one Swedish and more than one foreign institution.

The programme intention is to help groups of researchers, or groups focusing on higher education issues create more lasting international networks. The grant is intended for the exchange of personnel, through shorter or longer visits at the partner institutions. Seminars, conferences, summer schools and similar activities directly connected to the project can also be financed. An important criterion for the IGP is that projects identified and supported will make a significant contribution to the development of Swedish academia.

Deadline for applications for 2010 was on 15 December 2009.

STINT will inform about the programme and future calls in August 2010.
