Formas (Research Council for the Environment, Land Use and Urban Development) finances research for an ecologically, economically and socially sustainable society development that can contribute to meeting global sustainability goals.
In the annual open announcement, Forma’s applications are welcomed within the Council’s three areas of responsibility – environment, land use and community construction. The purpose of the announcement is to enable researchers to attack research needs that they themselves identified. The annual open announcement opens on March 1 and closes April 12, 2018
The annual open announcement is divided into three sub-announcements:
Research and Development Projects, Research and development projects for future research leaders, and Mobility Support.
The latter two sub-announcements are directed to and can only be sought by researchers early in their career. The purpose of mobility support is to encourage researchers who have recently obtained a doctorate to strengthen their skills and build networks by staying and working in new research environments.
