The Swedish Research Council

The Swedish Research Council (VR) is the largest contributor to research funding at Stockholm University. It supports research across all academic disciplines at the University, with the majority of its funding allocated to basic research.

The Swedish Research Council provides support both to individual researchers and to larger research environments. Each year, it awards funding to a wide range of projects at Stockholm University and is therefore one of the University’s most important external funders.

On the Swedish Research Council’s website, you can find information about current and upcoming calls for proposals, application guides and detailed instructions for applicants.
