Collaboration support

To promote researchers’ own collaboration activities and dissemination of research, a collaboration support is added to RJ Projects. The grant is intended to support ideas for collaboration that arise during the course of the project.

The purpose of the collaboration support is to disseminate, apply, communicate or otherwise spread research and knowledge. This may, for example, include lecture series, films, podcasts or exhibitions. Advisory activities directed at policymakers, as well as projects carried out together with practitioners and/or end users of research results, are also considered forms of collaboration.

All RJ Projects awarded funding since 2022 are automatically allocated a collaboration grant of SEK 150,000, which may be used up to three years after the project has concluded.

The collaboration grant may not be used for:

  • publication support for popular science books
  • academic conferences and meetings

Researchers who already at the application stage know that they wish to undertake a collaboration activity are recommended to include specified costs for this in their RJ Project application.

The collaboration grant is reimbursed against incurred costs.
