Research application grants

The Centre for European Studies supports new research by regularly providing seed money for university employees who are writing research proposals.

The grant may be used for various types of research applications, including applications for Horizon Europe. The research topic must deal with Europe, European conditions, and/or questions of clear European relevance. It may not deal with phenomena that will be studied exclusively in individual European states, unless explicitly and analytically linked to a broader European relevance.

Only researchers employed by Lund University can apply for the grant. Priority is given to collaborative projects where the European research is multidisciplinary and involves more than one faculty. 

Normally, calls for grants are announced both in the spring and autumn. Information about the research grants is sent out through our mailing list, which you can subscribe to here. Information is also posted here, on our website.
