Grants for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences

The Åke Wiberg Foundation supports research in the humanities and social sciences through multiple grant types. Grants are awarded for publication and production costs, conference organization, and as personal research fellowships to postdoctoral researchers for specified research projects (so-called regular grants). In addition, the foundation annually awards a three-year postdoctoral fellowship (the Humanities Fellowship) in a designated field, based on nominations from deans of invited humanities faculties. Grants can be awarded up to SEK 400,000. The foundation generally does not fund studies leading to a doctoral degree, dissertation printing without costly illustrations or similar additions, conference participation, or computers and other equipment.
