SET, Strategic External funding Team

Last changed: 23 August 2023

Strategic External Funding Team (SET) is a faculty-wide forum for dialogue and collaboration regarding external funding and advocacy work. The work within SET is expected to lead to improved support, increased coordination and transparency in prioritizing investments for increased external funding.

The dialogue in SET is important for anchoring the central operational support's work in the faculties' strategies and priorities and in the institutions' needs and for coordination between the faculties and between the faculties and the operational support.


SET shall:

  • based on the faculties' strategic priorities, stimulate more SLU-coordinated applications with a high success rate.
  • identify strategically important calls and relevant competences within SLU
  • develop and work for coordination and synergy within environmental monitoring and dialogue with research funders and within SLU's proactive work
  • produce basic information for a transparent process in cases where prioritisation of applications, projects and other initiatives is required

SET consists of two representatives from each faculty (research secretary and one representative appointed by the faculty) and staff from the Grants Office, SLU Global, the division of educational affairs and the division of planning. The chairman of SET is the vice-chancellor for international relations, and the operational coordination is managed by a secretariat consisting of the chairman and staff from the Grants Office. Additional resource persons can be co-opted to SET if necessary.

The main part of the work within SET is carried out within the framework of regular assignments and funding for the respective support functions, researchers and faculty.
