The Wallenberg foundations

This applies for the following foundations:

Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (KAW)

Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation (MMW) 

Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg Foundation (MAW)

Berit Wallenberg Foundation (BWS) (required only for larger research projects)

Internal calls and prioritization of applications

Before you start writing your application to any of the foundations above you must first discuss with the head of your department. When a call has been published on the foundation’s web site, the Office for Research, Engagement and Innovation Services makes a time frame for the internal application process at SU in consultation with the vice presidents. After that, we send out a call for “pre applications” to the heads of departments, and publish updated information and application forms on the SU staff web (for some calls the procedure with pre applications is not applied, see the table below for further info). 

The internal prioritization is made within the academic areas for Natural Sciences and Human Sciences respectively, where review panels appointed by the vice presidents read and prioritize among the pre-applications based on the criteria of the specific call. Prioritized applicants are then asked to write a full application. Support letters are provided when the application and the budget form have been approved.
