Please contact the responsible coordinator for this Call, Pierre Bodin – piebod@kth.se  if you are interested in joining the meeting or plan to prepare or join an application.

About the call

The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) announces 60 million SEK in a national call for proposals for a Multidisciplinary Research Centre (MRC) that meets the highest international scientific standards. The call aims to stimulate truly multidisciplinary research collaboration between academia, research institutes, industry, and society. SSF seeks to fund one (1) MRC application for reducing the content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through carbon-lean process innovation and CO2 capture, transformation, and utilization (CCU). The MRC will be granted up to 40+20 million SEK in total including overhead costs for a period of six years. Full funding will be contingent upon a successful midterm evaluation.

The Call aims to promote research breakthroughs and innovation on carbon dioxide handling with cutting-edge research and sustainable development merits. For resource management in the present century, decarbonization and dematerialization are imperative activities.1 The establishment of a Multidisciplinary Research Centre with this orientation – MRC CCU – should consolidate a necessary knowledge base and establish Sweden at a leading international position in the field.

Last date for applications: January 28, 2025, 14:00 hours CET 

However, each HEI and each RI may be represented in a maximum of one (1) application as a main applicant in this call, which means that in the case of more than 1 application to coordinate an application, a selection process will automatically be necessary.
