Immerse yourself in a day dedicated to funding your research and innovation pursuits through valuable insights, expert guidance, and lively discussions. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or just beginning your academic journey, this event is for you.

Kick starting the morning session, we will dive into a series of presentations from funding agencies active in the region. Discover the latest funding opportunities, trends, and insider tips directly from the source. You will have the chance to mingle with funder representatives, SLU external funding and innovation experts, and other researchers over lunch, gaining valuable insight on navigating the funding landscape.

In the afternoon, we will hold a series of short taster sessions, led by experts from across SLU, to introduce you to practical tools and actionable insights to unlock your research funding and innovation potential.

Registration has now closed so that we can order catering. If you are still interested in attending - please send an email to fiona.reid@slu.se and we will do our best to accommodate you.
