Call: Collaboration and networking within Life Science

Aim of the Call

Multidisciplinary collaborations, workshops and events

The KTH Life Science Platform will support activities and networks at KTH with the aim to establish new or maintain existing multidisciplinary collaborations, supporting applications in Life Science-related research and planning events. We also accept applications for projects addressing networking events, workshops and social activities.

Amount of funding

SEK 50,000 per project. We expect to fund 6-7 projects in this round.

Young researchers

We especially encourage young researchers (e.g. Postdocs and advanced PhD students) to apply for this grant.

Across KTH's Schools and departments

This grant is a great opportunity to develop new collaborations between different research groups across KTH’s schools and departments – it is highly advised to have at least two departments/divisions involved and collaborations across schools are especially encouraged.

Suggested Activities

Examples of activities that can be supported:

• Multidisciplinary research projects within Life Science
• Projects that could lead to new larger multidisciplinary research applications
• Starting a KTH-wide network or continuing with the activities of an existing network
• Activities related to networking with external partners (private, public or research institute), fostering new or strengthening existing links
• Organisation of a conference or seminar series with a focus on Life Science Research

Please note that:

• This is not a call for travel grants
• The two collaborating PIs must belong to KTH. You can have a third PI belonging to outside KTH
