Lund University Funding for Research and Education Collaboration

with

National University Singapore, UC Berkeley and University of Melbourne

Lund University's (LU) call for Funding for Research and Education Collaboration is aimed at researchers from Lund University and National University of Singapore, UC Berkeley and University of Melbourne.

Funds of up to SEK 60 000 per award are available to develop collaborations which have the potential to lead to a sustainable partnership, externally funded projects and joint publications/education activities.

Researcher teams (LU + partner university) are invited to submit applications in any academic field. Applications will be evaluated based on predetermined quality criteria. If all applications that adequately fulfil the key assessment criteria cannot be funded, priority will be given to new collaborations.

Activities eligible for funding:

• Workshop/meeting costs (room rental, food, technical support)
• Travel expenses and accommodation of participants

Salary costs, consumables and scholarships are not eligible.

Allocation of funding

The total expenses for activities and travel costs cannot exceed SEK 60.000. Funds will be transferred to the department of the LU applicant at the end of the funding period through a "bokföringsorder" (reverse OH).

Application guidelines

The application has to be submitted by the LU researcher through this application portal and shall include:

• Aim of the collaboration
• Description of the activity
• Timeline of the activity
• Letter of interest from the researcher at the partner university (e-mail is sufficient)
  
• CV of each of the researchers (LU and partner university).
  

Key assessment criteria

• Quality and feasibility of planned activities
• Strategic value of the research collaboration
• Sustainability of collaboration: potential for subsequent larger research projects and/or to generate external funding.
