EECS allocates 5 mSEK in FOFU agency's capital for strategic initiatives at the school. Employees from at least two different divisions or departments can apply for funding of 500 kSEK to jointly develop project applications. Projects can be based on existing research but must clearly formulate research questions that are innovative and not already researched.
