Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg’s Memorial Fund: Pre-application to Teknatfak

21 September 2021

The foundation primarily supports projects within the humanities and learning. Prioritized projects include new research areas and research of a cross-border nature, preferably with a focus on information technology.

Within the framework of the call, targeted grants are also announced for applications with a focus on a sustainable society in the borderland between ecology, economics, and other social sciences. The aim is to increase the understanding of the interplay between ecology, climate, and social and economic development in relation to a long-term sustainable society. 

A project must have an independent objective and not only constitute additional funding for ongoing activities or other projects that have already started.

Application process

The pre-application consists of a form that should be filled out by the applicant.

In addition to the application form, a letter from the head of department for each applicant must be attached stating support for the application and thus responsibility for any co-financing. The application should be sent no later than November 15 to the faculty's research coordinator robert.johansson@umu.se

The nomination process

Each faculty prepares their proposals, and the dean of the faculty decides which projects that will be given the opportunity to submit their application to the Research Support and Collaboration Office, no later than December 16. This is followed by a continued preparation of the application and budget at the university before the deadline for submission on 1 April 2022.
