In the Synergi programme, universities together with business partners address an integrating research question that ultimately contributes to scientific profiling of the university. The overarching synergi project is created by combining several subprojects.

Programme summary

  • A business-relevant core question drives a research project towards scientific profiling
  • Independent scientific subprojects contribute towards the integrating synergi project
  • The contribution from business partners to the project must in total correspond to at least the same amount as that applied for from the Knowledge Foundation
  • Maximum funding: SEK 10 million
  • Maximum project duration: 5 years
  • Budget framework: The preliminary financial scope for the 2024 call for proposals is SEK 30 million, excluding OH.

Background to the programme

The programme enables the universities to address research questions that may require perspectives and skills from other subject areas. Based on a well-defined, business-relevant research question, the results of a synergy project must contribute towards development of state-of-the-art research.

Contribution to strong research and educational environments

The specific purpose of the Synergi programme is for the environment to integrate and develop its research towards a scientific profile.
