Tips for Applicants
- ✓Synchronise timelines with your Swedish partner from the outset: application deadlines differ slightly (Formas copy must reach SNSF within 7 days), and project start dates must align.
- ✓Clarify research topic distinctiveness: Swiss PIs may hold a maximum of 2 concurrent SNSF project grants; Weave projects count toward this ceiling, so ensure each new proposal has visibly separate aims.
- ✓Check eligibility early with your Formas partner: Swedish side covers environment, agricultural sciences, and spatial planning, if your project sits at a disciplinary boundary, confirm scope with Formas before drafting.
