What we do
Application Phase
We provide advice regarding Swedish and Nordic funders. We also handle internal prioritization processes required for certain calls from some of the Swedish funders.
Support when KI is the coordinator
If you are planning to be the coordinator for one of the calls within Horizon Europe Pillar II, we can support you with background information and call text analysis. During the application phase we can support you with feedback and advice on consortium building, proposal development, and work package structure. One and one meetings or meetings with your KI research team can be arranged. Budget advice for coordinator applications will be in collaboration with your department and GO post-award.
In collaboration with colleagues from EEO and CDO we can advise on specific questions related to ethics, gender aspects, open access, IP, and impact.
Support when KI is a partner
When you are invited to be a partner in a consortium, your first step should be to contact your department to discuss the project and the budget, since partner projects are managed by the department. We can provide advice related to EU rules and regulations and specific questions such as ethics, data handling, and IP.

ERC grants are given to top researcher to implement a groundbreaking and ambitious research project. We provide guidance and support for ERC applications where KI is the host institution.
MSCA is given to e.g. principal investigators within a consortium to train PhD students and staff exchange, and to individual researchers to pursue postdoctoral training. We provide guidance for researchers interested in the MSCA program and support where KI is the host institution.

We support, advise, and submit (if mandatory) proposals in the application phase. When possible, we work to create new funding opportunities for researchers via partnerships with funders. Furthermore, we monitor international research and innovation policy - with a focus on external research funding.
