Grant for writing an EU application!

The Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) continues to support Swedish researchers in their work with applying for grants within the Horizon Europe (HEU) programme, the EU’s framework programme for research and innovation. Through the call “SSF: EU Horizon Europe application support 2025”, the foundation is offering SEK 10 million to help researchers apply for EU grants as project coordinator for HEU Pillar 2.

The aim of the call is to promote the internationalisation of Swedish research by stimulating increased Swedish participation in HEU Pillar 2 Global Challenges & European Industrial Competitiveness. HEU projects should be of strategic relevance for Sweden, i.e. benefit Sweden’s future competitiveness.

The call is aimed at researchers in natural sciences, engineering or medicine at Swedish universities or research institutes who apply for the role of project coordinator for HEU Pillar 2 projects in 2025.

Selected projects will receive a maximum SSF grant of SEK 500,000 (incl. overheads). The grants must be used exclusively to cover costs for salaries, travel and consultants directly related to the preparation of a HEU application. The call covers costs from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025.
