Sabbatsstipendier
The Sabbatsstipendier is a tax-free scholarship program designed to facilitate Swedish senior researchers, typically professors, to work at foreign scientific institutions. The scholarship is intended as a contribution to the additional costs that stipend recipients incur through travel to foreign institutions, double housing, health insurance, school fees for children, and other expenses during the stay abroad. The program supports established researchers who obtained their doctoral degree more than five years prior to the application deadline. Recipients can use the scholarship for periods ranging from 3 to 12 months at international research institutions, with funding paid directly to the researcher's private bank account in installments of up to 6 months in advance. The scholarship cannot be extended or supplement funding from other sources if the stay abroad exceeds 12 months.
Gästforskarstipendier
The Guest Researcher Scholarships are tax-free stipends designed to facilitate senior foreign researchers working in Sweden. The scholarships are intended as contributions to additional costs incurred by the guest through relocating their activities to Sweden, such as travel, dual residence, health insurance, etc. Swedish researchers host foreign researchers who must have obtained their doctoral degree more than five years before the application date. The scholarships are awarded for a period of at least 1 and a maximum of 12 months, starting during the calendar semester (July 1 or January 1) immediately following the application deadline. Applications are accepted twice per year with deadlines on March 10 and October 1. The application portal opens two months before each deadline. The Swedish researcher applies on behalf of the foreign guest researcher.
Wenner-Gren Fellow-stipendier för postdoktoral utbildning
The Wenner-Gren Fellow Scholarships are the foundations' most exclusive program, designed to give young researchers the opportunity to obtain qualified postdoctoral training abroad for 3 years and thereafter (after a renewed application process) conduct research in Sweden for 2 years. The tax-free fellowships provide comprehensive support including a stipend that varies depending on host country and family situation, travel costs to and from the foreign institution, and compensation for lost child benefits. After the fellowship period abroad, fellows can apply for funding for two years' salary as a researcher at a Swedish institution. If support is granted for employment in Sweden, the host institution receives an amount to cover salary costs for the fellow's research position. Additionally, the fellow receives a start-up grant of 600,000 SEK (excluding overhead costs) and the opportunity to apply for a stipend for a foreign postdoc at any time during the year.
