Call for applications for economic support to research infrastructures connected to KBC for the period 2024-2026.
A total amount of 3.05 MSEK are available for 2024. Approved grants are guaranteed for 2024, while support for 2025 and 2026 depends on decisions about the future financing of KBC by UmU, SLU, the Medical Faculty and the Science and Technology Faculty.
The call is open for local infrastructures and infrastructures that receive support from and offer service at both the local and national levels. However, it should be stressed that KBC only gives economic support to the local activities for the latter type of infrastructure. This needs to be explicitly described in the applications.
The call is also open for new infrastructures and infrastructures that have not previously received support from KBC.
Infrastructures that have received economic support from KBC during the period 2021-2023 (or parts of that period) need to submit a report for their activities during this period. This time, the KBC board requests more detailed three-year reports, as their summaries will be used to compile the three-year report of KBC activities submitted in the spring term of 2024.
