Fulbright Graduate Student / Research Program

The Swedish Fulbright Commission issues grants to outstanding Swedish students who embody the mission of the Fulbright program. Grants are available for master's and doctoral programs or non-degree doctoral-level research at universities in the United States for up to a full academic year. The application process begins 18 months before the desired enrollment date at a U.S. university. Grants are open for all fields of study, except medicine (with the exception of public health and medical research), dentistry or veterinary medicine. For degree-seeking applicants, the minimum period of stay in the United States is one academic year (10 months). Visiting student researchers may apply for a period of 4-12 months. Fulbright grantees benefit from the expertise of the International Institute of Education (IIE) throughout the application and placement processes at U.S. universities. Students are chosen based on their academic merit and leadership potential. The Fulbright Program expects their grantees to demonstrate outstanding academic performance and actively contribute to the promotion of mutual understanding as unofficial ambassadors of their country. Swedish grantees receive a cash award from the Fulbright Commission and may be eligible for additional financial aid and/or cost-sharing from U.S. universities for the academic year. All Fulbright grantees are required to travel on a J-1 visa with a two year rule clause, which means that the grantee must spend two years in their home country before applying for a residence permit or other type of permanent stay in the United States. In cooperation with IIE, the Fulbright Commission will assist grantees with applying for admission and for supplementary financial assistance at a selection of their preferred U.S. universities.

CyberHUBs Capacity Building

The CyberHUBs Capacity Building programme strengthens Europe's cybersecurity infrastructure through two interconnected initiatives under the Digital Europe Programme and the EU Cyber Solidarity Act. The programme addresses Europe's increased exposure to sophisticated cross-border cyber threats by establishing and reinforcing national and cross-border cybersecurity coordination centers. The first topic (DIGITAL-ECCC-2026-DEPLOY-CYBER-10-NCH) focuses on establishing or strengthening National Cyber Hubs equipped with advanced tools to monitor, analyse, and manage cyber events. These hubs will operate in close coordination with CSIRTs, ISACs, and other national cybersecurity entities, providing early warnings to critical infrastructures and potentially extending capabilities to monitor undersea infrastructure including submarine cables. The second topic (DIGITAL-ECCC-2026-DEPLOY-CYBER-10-CBCH) establishes Cross-Border Cyber Hubs that connect national nodes to enable real-time intelligence sharing and a unified EU-wide response. These hubs will implement processes, tools, and services for prevention, detection, and analysis of emerging cyberattacks, using open standards for cyber threat intelligence sharing such as MISP Standard, CSAF, and IntelMQ. Together, these initiatives will enhance early threat detection, support protection of critical infrastructure, and advance a more sovereign, coordinated, and resilient European cybersecurity ecosystem with a total available funding of EUR 4,000,000.

Stipend for Children without Glasses

The Stipend for Children without Glasses (SCWG) is a charitable foundation established in 2012 dedicated to supporting youth who have maintained natural visual acuity throughout their developmental years. Founded by optometrist Dr. Helena Brightwell, the organization awards annual grants of $500–$2,000 to children ages 8–17 who demonstrate both exceptional uncorrected vision and academic achievement. The foundation's somewhat tongue-in-cheek mission arose from Dr. Brightwell's observation that while numerous programs exist to provide corrective eyewear to those in need, no recognition existed for children whose genetic fortune and eye-care habits preserved their natural sight. Recipients must submit proof of 20/20 vision or better from a licensed eye care professional, along with a short essay on eye health awareness. The SCWG distributes approximately $150,000 annually across 200 grants and has funded vision health education programs in over 40 schools nationwide.
