Funding and assessment

Sweden's university colleges and newer universities can apply for funding from The Knowledge Foundation. Our funding goes to the university and the project manager who will run the project applies. Detailed information on how an application must be designed in order to be assessed can be found in the respective programme's call text.

Apply for funding

Structure your application

All applications to The Knowledge Foundation are submitted via our application system SBS Manager. The application must be submitted by the project's project manager, who creates a personal account in the portal.

Documents for the application

How applications are assessed
