3rd Funding call for short research exchanges

Stockholm University Center for Circular and Sustainable Systems (SUCCeSS) aims to promote broad transdisciplinary research, in collaboration with industry and policymakers.

We now open a third call for research exchange funding to initiate research collaborations in Europe, and invite proposals that address any of the three research focus areas of SUCCeSS, which are:

  • Circular and sustainable processing
  • Data driven circular and sustainable chemistry
  • Circular and safe food and water systems.

The call aims to support the applicant to learn new technologies and create new networks with international peers, including non-academic stakeholders, preferably within Europe. The funding is not intended to cover travel costs for conference participation, but the research visit can be combined with a conference trip to decrease the carbon footprint.

Eligible applicants: There are two applicant groups, either for outgoing or incoming travels.

  1. Outgoing travels: PhD students and post docs at SU can apply for travel funds for stays at an international environment relevant to SUCCeSS.
  2. Incoming travels: PIs at SU (excluding SUCCeSS board and core team) can apply for travel funds for temporary stays at SU by PhD students and post docs from an international environment relevant to SUCCeSS.

Time period: Applications closed on 1 March 2026.

Available funding: up to 50 000 SEK per application, until we have reached the budget maximum of 600 000 SEK including the already funded applications in call 1 & 2. Only travel and accommodation costs are covered, not daily allowance.
