About the calls

The research funding organisations the Swedish Research Council and Formas issue annual calls for research funding. The projects that receive funding from the Swedish Research Council come from the calls within natural sciences and engineering sciences. The projects that receive support from Formas concern career support for researchers early in their careers.
