Grant for interdisciplinary research environments

The grant for interdisciplinary research environments aims to give opportunities for research teams to develop interdisciplinary research and interdisciplinary research environments, where breakthroughs and ground-breaking discoveries may be expected. The call is intended to provide long-term support to research where theories, methodology, factual knowledge and/or data from differing disciplines are combined in ways that open up new research fields and research approaches. The support is aimed primarily at new interdisciplinary groupings with researchers from genuinely differing scientific backgrounds.

Please note

Please note that the application is made using a two-step procedure, and this text also includes instructions for Step 2. Only a small number of applicants will be included in Step 2.
The research grouping (the applicant and participating researchers) must together represent at least two different disciplines.
This year, the call includes support for the specific areas of viruses and pandemics. Please state in your application if it relates to this area.
The former “Publication list” is now known as “Publications and other research outputs” and has a changed structure.
There is now a separate field in the application where you are asked to describe how your stated merits confirm your ability to implement the proposed research.
