Swedish Foundations’ Starting Grant
A unique collaboration between seven private funders who strongly believe in supporting prominent early-career researchers.
About the grant
The Swedish Foundations’ Starting Grant addresses prominent early-career researchers based at host institutions in Sweden, who in tough competition scored among the best in the most recent European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant call yet narrowly missed out on a grant due to the limited available ERC funding. The funding is equivalent to an ERC Starting Grant.
