Researchers at the NJ-faculty and PhD-students at the NJ-faculty in the latter part of their education (i.e. after half-time seminar) are invited to submit proposals for projects covering costs for visiting projects or networks within the context of Global Development (GD). Apply before March 1, 2023.
The NJ faculty’s program on Global Development aims to increase the Faculty staff´s capacity to successfully compete for external funds within the context of Global Development. Funding from the yearly call enable researchers to establish new networks in countries outside Sweden. Applicants should have an appointment at the NJ-faculty during full duration of the planned activities either as scientists, environmental specialist or PhD students. The maximum sum allocated to a successful application is 90 000 SEK. The program does not cover salaries for hosts or partners in Global Development countries. The current call is aimed at projects starting during 2023 or 2024. Proposals will be evaluated by the Committee of Global Affairs. Final decisions about funding are made by the Dean of the NJ-faculty.
Early career scientists and environmental specialists, as well as PhD-students in the latter part of their education (i.e. after half-time seminar) at the NJ-faculty are invited to submit proposals. The proposals must be for activities aimed at building networks within the context of Global Development. The activities can include visits to other countries. Both visits and network-building activities should be clearly linked to potential future Global Development-related initiatives or applications of relevance for research and/or education at the NJ faculty.
Funding will only be given to activities that include countries listed on the DAC list of ODA recipients, with priority given to applications for working in “least developed countries”, “other low income countries” or “lower middle income countries and territories” (see link below).
Projects or networking activities must be carried out and reported within a year from the date of funding approval. As part of the report, successful applicants will be required to draft a short, web-based, summary of their work including pictures.
The proposals should be written with a clear ambition to expand the applicant’s competence and network within the field of GD research. For PhD-students it is important to show that senior collaborators will host the student when abroad.
The following criteria will be used when assessing the applications:
In the evaluation early career researchers that have recently finished their PhD will be given the highest priority, followed by PhD students, and more experienced researchers. Gender mainstreaming will be applied.
The proposal to the NJ Committee of Global Affairs should include:
A maximum of three pages may be used for item b and c in the list above. Note that the grant does not cover costs for meetings or travel to groups in Sweden or any costs for hosts.
Proposals labeled SLU ua 2022.4.1-4648 should be submitted no later than 1 March 2023 to registrator@slu.se, with a copy to Kristine.koch@slu.se .
SLU will treat personal information in accordance with GDPR and national legislation to the extent that is necessary for carrying out administration of the proposals received.
