Swedish Foundations' Starting Grant
– The aim of the call is to give the researchers an opportunity to work on their proposed projects and do ground breaking research. We believe that this will give them a competitive advantage the next time they apply for ERC funding, says Anna Wetterbom, CEO of Ragnar Söderbergs stiftelse and coordinator of the SFSG collaboration.
About the grant
The call addresses prominent early-career researchers based at host institutions in Sweden, who in tough competition scored among the best in the most recent European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant call yet narrowly missed out on a grant due to the limited available ERC funding. The funding is equivalent to an ERC Starting Grant.
