Promobilia Fellowships

Stiftelsen Promobilia offers fellowships for research and development aimed at promoting an active and independent life for people living with disabilities. The foundation's purpose is to support the development and dissemination of assistive devices, particularly for increased mobility, as well as scientific research to create new assistive devices and restore mobility and communication abilities for people with disabilities. The Promobilia Fellowships aim to give talented individuals with a strong interest in disability research the opportunity to begin a research career in this field. By contributing to more researchers establishing themselves in this important area, the foundation hopes to strengthen and develop the disability research field to ultimately contribute to people with disabilities being given greater opportunities to live an active and independent life. Promobilia Fellows are part of a network of researchers invited approximately once a year to the Promobilia Fellows Symposium to exchange experiences and stimulate collaborations.

Drottning Silvias Jubileumsfond

Stiftelsen Drottning Silvias Jubileumsfond provides grants for research on children and disabilities. The fund annually distributes scholarships that can be applied for by students admitted to doctoral programs at universities and colleges in Sweden. Each year, a specific research area is prioritized, which is announced when the call for applications is published. The foundation was established in connection with Queen Silvia's 50th birthday to manage and distribute funds contributed by the Swedish people as a tribute to the Queen. The scholarships are awarded annually on Queen Silvia's birthday, December 23, with a formal presentation ceremony held at the Royal Palace in Stockholm in late January, where recipients receive their scholarships from the Queen herself.
