Do you have a clever idea for how we can reduce our climate impact? Apply for funding from the SLU climate fund and your idea may be implemented in practice.

The SLU climate fund is a component of the environmental objectives for business travel at SLU. For each flight, a fee is charged and these fees constitute the climate fund. The money is intended for measures promoting the climate, and both staff and students can apply for funding.

More information on assessment criteria, application form and sample cost estimates can be found on the staff web.

Application for funding in 2025 closes on 30 September.

Facts:

In June 2014, the Vice-Chancellor decided to establish a Climate Fund at SLU as part of the university’s efforts to meet its environmental targets for business travel. The fund was introduced on a three-year trial basis and, following an evaluation in 2018, was extended for another three years starting on January 1, 2019. A new evaluation was carried out in the first half of 2024, after which the fund was extended for a further three years.

Employees may apply for funding to support climate-related projects within SLU. Grants from the fund are awarded once a year during the autumn semester.

Each one-way flight is subject to a fee, the amount of which depends on the type of journey:

  • Domestic 200 SEK
  • International 300 SEK
