The forest faculty at SLU is partner in the EU-financed research and innovation staff exchange (Descision_ES) and there is potential funding for research visits to a number of universities in north and south America. We are now nearing the end of the programme in mid 2026, but there is still some spots for those interested. Professor Lars Östlund at FEM is responsible for the program at SLU.
A very short description of the program – more details in the attached document:
1) SLU researchers/technical/administrative staff who are working on things which connects to the program are eligible for a travel grant (including cost of travel and money for accommodation etc).
2) SLU researchers/technical/administrative staff can go to the following universities/organisations:
3) Relatively simple administration regarding such exchange: (letter of invitation and brief reports on your research visit)
4) If you are interested and, before you contact Lars Östlund with questions – read the entire attached documents!
5) The exchange visit must be done in spring/early summer 2026.
Great chance to establish and develop now research collaboration!
