NDUSTRIAL RESEARCH CENTRES

Stiftelsen för Strategisk Forskning – Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research

Description: The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research invites proposals for its industrial research centres. Funding aims to boost long-term problem- and application driven research centres encompassing collaborative research ecosystems between industry, research institutes and academia. Centres should be strategically defined around formulated industrial needs with formidable research challenges, and research problems should be defined and pursued together by the industrial and academic partners. Research centres must be concentrated on disruptive innovation, including new enabling technologies or emerging technology shifts in a long-term perspective. Centres should consist of two to five industrial partners together with one to five academic or research institute partners. At least one of the partners must be a department at a Swedish university, which will administer the grant. The main applicant must be a researcher based at a Swedish university or research institute, and must be prepared to assume operative responsibility for the centre throughout the grant period. Co-applicants should be researchers from industry, public authorities, research institutes and university departments. Companies should normally be registered in Sweden or close to Sweden so that the exchange can work practically and be justified strategically for Sweden. Industrial partners may be hospitals if the centre involves clinical research. International partners may participate on their own budget, excluding international researchers that become employed by the centre through participating Swedish partners.

The total budget is worth up to SEK400 million. Each centre may receive between SEK50m and SEK100m for a total period of six to eight years, including overheads. Up to eight centres will be supported. Industry partners must fund their participation with a combination of in-kind and cash by at least 20 per cent of the total budget of the centre. A maximum of 25 per cent may be used for salaries for the main applicant or co-applicants. Funding may be used for salaries, research tools and running costs of the centre.

These could be overseas academic co-investigators, project partners or project collaborators as appropriate but should play a

significant role in the development of the network beyond participation in events. Grants are worth up to £30,000 each over two years.

IGHLIGHT NOTICE FOR THE UN INTERNATIONAL DECADE FOR PEOPLE OF

AFRICAN DESCENT – RESEARCH NETWORKING SCHEME


Description: The Arts and Humanities Research Council, under its research networking scheme, invites applications for the highlight notice for the UN international decade for people of African descent.

The UN cites the need to strengthen national, regional and international co-operation in relation to the full enjoyment of economic, social, cultural, civil and political rights by people of African descent, and their full and equal participation in all aspects of society. The theme for the international decade is People of African descent: recognition, justice and development, and the main objectives are as follows:

promote respect, protection and fulfilment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by people of African descent, as recognised in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights;

promote a greater knowledge of and respect for the diverse heritage, culture and contribution of people of African descent to the development of societies;

adopt and strengthen national, regional and international legal

frameworks according to the Durban declaration and programme of action and the international convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination and to ensure their full and effective implementation.

Proposals must be led by a UK principal investigator and principal investigators must come from a discipline in the arts and humanities. Only one co-investigator is permissible; international co-investigators are eligible under this scheme. In addition to these ordinary requirements for the research networking scheme, proposals under the highlight notice must demonstrate a core arts and humanities research focus on issues of specific relevance to people of African descent or the international decade for people of African descent and engagement with, or the participation of, researchers or communities of African descent or with relevant community, cultural, heritage, creative or professional organisations or relevant providers of community services.
