Travel grants can be applied for on a rolling basis by PhD students who are actively participating (oral presentation or poster) in scientific conferences within one of the Foundation’s prioritised areas. Grants are not awarded for courses, study visits, or similar activities, nor to individuals other than active PhD students enrolled at a Swedish higher education institution. Normally, only one PhD student from the same department is granted a travel grant to the same conference. Decisions are usually communicated within three weeks, during academic term time.

Applications should be submitted electronically to the Secretary and should include a compiled appendix with the following content:

A brief description of the applicant’s doctoral project and research area, along with the connection(s) to one or more of the Foundation’s priority areas

Brief details of the intended conference, including name, location, and dates

Justification for participation and how the applicant intends to present results

Budget (daily allowances are not granted and should not be included)

Contact details for the applicant’s institutional affiliation

A travel report in digital format must be submitted to the Foundation within one month after the conference.
