Doctoral students at SLU have different kinds of travel grants available.
Doctoral students at SLU have different opportunities available when it comes to applying for travel grants, see below. These can be used for shorter or longer forms of study visits, conference trips or doctoral courses.
In order to promote internationalisation of doctoral studies at SLU, funds are available to apply from for international activities.
From the following funds you can apply for grants for study visits, participation in international PhD courses/workshops and conferences.
Depending on the funding available, grants may also be given to applicants who already finished the doctoral degree. Applicants with a doctoral degree can only apply for the preparation of a postdoc stay.
The same web form is used for all funds and is open for applications during one month at the spring respectively autumn round. There are two application deadlines, 28 February and 15 October.
Deadline for the Autumn application 2024 is 15 October. The activity must take place after 30 November.

Doctoral students admitted to SLU can apply for travel grants when participating in SLU courses or NOVA courses.
The application should be made before the course starts and contain a cost estimate. The applicant is expected to choose the cheapest alternative. A maximum of 90 Euro per night for at the most six nights can be approved for accommodation. Only actual costs up to the approved sum are reimbursed.
The applications are processed as they arrive - there is no deadline. If the application is approved, the applicant will get a written approval stating that the Council for PhD Education guarantees a grant up to a certain amount.
It is recommended that all costs are paid by the department until the course is over and the applicant has received a course certificate. To get the reimbursement, the department sends an internal invoice based on the actual costs together with a copy of the course certificate to the Council for PhD education, (cost center 979).

Doctoral students normally do not receive stipends from SLU, instead they have stipends from external donors.
Stipends from SLU are regulated by a decision by the Vice-Chancellor (currently only available in Swedish). These regulations are not valid for stipends from external donors.
There are different available options for Staff and teacher mobility at SLU.
