”Kick-off” before the VR-applications 2019

21 January 2019

Are you going to apply for research support from the Swedish Research Council (VR) this year? The Faculty of Science and Technology invites you to a briefing regarding different aspects that you may need to consider when writing an application for a project grant to VR.

•How should a successful VR application be structured and formulated?
•What makes an application "attractive" for a reviewer?
•Is it possible to increase the chance of getting an application granted?

The aim of this information meeting is to give good advice and possible help to increase the chance that your application becomes successful. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions, discuss different strategies, or share tips for this year's VR call.

The representatives that will reflect on these issues are:


•Prof. Åsa Strand, member of VR's Scientific Council for Natural and Engineering Sciences
• Prof. Fredrik Almqvist, chair of VR's evaluation panel NT-6, Organic and inorganic chemistry
• Prof. Ove Axner, chair of the faculty's research committee and evaluator for NT-4, Atomic and molecular physics, optical and condensed matter physics
•Dr. Anders Wennström, research coordinator at Grants Office

The deadline for project applications in Natural and Engineering Sciences (NT-rådet) in 2019 is April 9. The deadline for project applications in Medicine and Health in 2019 is March 19.
