About This Opportunity

The purpose of the project grant is to give newly qualified researchers with a doctoral degree from a Swedish higher education institution (HEI) the opportunity to expand their networks and their competences by working abroad under secure employment conditions. The grant is also intended to promote the quality and renewal of Swedish research. This international postdoc grant specifically supports artistic research, covering all artistic areas such as architecture, visual art, circus, dance and choreography, design, film, photography, arts and crafts, curatorial practices, literature, music, opera, performance, theatre, and multi-disciplinary artistic activities. Recipients must spend at least two-thirds of the grant period at a foreign host department while remaining employed in Sweden. The grant provides funding for salary, housing abroad, research costs, and support for accompanying family members during the international research period.
