The application is made via Marine Facility Planning. When applying for an account, select SWERVE as your organisation. Once your account is approved, you can start your application.

Apply for KAW funding for projects with high scientific potential

As a rule, projects should be of a basic scientific nature and focused on a coherent scientific question. Projects normally have a budget of SEK 15-40 million and a duration of three to five years. Project applications to KAW must be approved by the Vice-Chancellor, so an internal prioritisation is made based on letters of intent (LOI) that must be received by the faculty (via e-mail to tobias [dot] nilsson [at] science [dot] lu [dot] se) no later than 19 September at 12.00. Within N-fak, the faculty's research board will prioritise LOIs received.
