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.
