Workshop – Developing a compelling Formas grant proposal

Formas is a Swedish research council for sustainable development. It funds high quality, societally relevant research within the areas of environment, agricultural sciences and spatial planning to the tune of 1.8 billion SEK every year. In this interactive workshop, Ninad Bondre and Caroline Grabbe (research coordinators at the SLU Grants Office) will delve into the guidelines, expectations and evaluation criteria for Formas’s annual open call, and provide tips and techniques for developing strong proposals. In addition, experts from the library and SLU Holding will provide tips on open science, data management and impact. The workshop is open for researchers at all levels and especially those who are considering applying in 2022.

The workshop will be delivered via Zoom from 9:00 to 12:00 on 11 March 2022.
