Call for Proposals 2023

Stiftelsen Skogssällskapet announces funding (SEK 20 million) for research in forestry and nature conservation.

Stiftelsen Skogssällskapet hereby announces funding for research in forestry and nature conservation totalling SEK 20 million.

Stiftelsen Skogssällskapet primarily provides funding for needs-motivated research in forest management and nature conservation. Skogssällskapet also contributes to practical implementation of research results and existing knowledge, so can also award grants to communication and knowledge dissemination initiatives that concern forest management and nature conservation. Funding may be awarded in other areas of nature conservation than research, providing the projects lie within the foundation’s interpretation of the concept of nature conservation.

Anyone affiliated to universities, university colleges, research institutes, and seats of learning in Sweden and Finland are invited to apply for funding from Stiftelsen Skogssällskapet. NGOs can apply for funding if the project in question will be conducted according to scientific methods or contributes in some other way to the foundation’s aims in the area of nature conservation.

Skogssällskapet aims to promote research on current issues. In the assessment of this year’s applications, projects in the following focus areas will be viewed favourably: forest damage, causes of declining growth, and AI in the forest.

Application for funding from Stiftelsen Skogssällskapet takes place in two stages: Stage 1 and Stage 2. Applications may be submitted in Swedish or English. Final date for application in Stage 1 is October 16th.
