The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, SSF, has opened this year’s call for Industrial PhD students and Industrial Licentia. It is possible to apply for grants from master to licentiate or doctor, but also from licentiate to doctor. The foundation invests in total SEK 30 million in this call. The grant will last for two to five years and will result in a research qualification.
SSF expects to award between 12-24 projects with up to SEK 2.5 million each, depending on whether it is about licentiate or doctoral studies. Industrial PhD students / licentiates will conduct research and technological development in the areas covered by the SSF, ie science, technology and medicine, during the grant period. The funding will cover costs for research and own research education for industry PhD students / Licentiates, which must be at least 80 percent employed by a company and have two supervisors, one at the university and one at the company.
