Stockholm Trio is pleased to announce calls for funding for 2025 - 2026 within interdisciplinary collaboration in education and research. The aim of the funding is to support collaborations. This funding is open to all areas, and we encourage applicants from any discipline to submit proposals.
Background
The call is funded by Stockholm Trio for Sustainable Actions, an initiative by the University Alliance Stockholm Trio, which comprises Karolinska Institutet, KTH, and Stockholm University. By leveraging the combined academic strengths of the three universities, the Stockholm Trio for Sustainable Action initiative addresses complex sustainability challenges through inter- and transdisciplinary research, education, and networks.

To be considered for funding the application should include educational and/or research activities from all three universities and address the global sustainable development goals in the UN agenda 2030.

Applicants do not need to have a permanent position with one of the three universities, but they must have an existing contract at the time of application, and that contract must cover the full period of the grant until 2026.
The funding cannot be used for instruments, organization of conferences or symposia.
