Autumn calls 2026 – key dates

News

The Knowledge Foundation’s 2026 calls for proposals have now been published. Planning to apply this autumn? Here you’ll find key dates and information about our Q&A sessions in September.

The autumn calls under the Knowledge Foundation’s nine regular programmes will open on 10 September. At the same time, this year’s call for co-funding of doctoral programmes within the EU initiative MSCA COFUND will also open.

New for this year is an increase in the maximum funding amount for Synergy projects, from SEK 11 million to SEK 15 million.

Q&A sessions in September

In September, the Knowledge Foundation will host three digital Q&A sessions for those planning to apply for funding. You will receive an overview of this year’s updates and have the opportunity to ask questions directly to our programme managers.

The sessions will be conducted in Swedish, but you are welcome to ask questions in English.
