The process has been completed for the allocation of strategic funds with an application deadline of November 22, 2023. PSI has received 31 applications requesting a total of 7,500,000 kroner.
When prioritizing the applications, the following factors have been taken into account:
- Collaboration across disciplines and sections
- Young researchers in the early stages of their careers
- Increasing diversity and the representation of women in senior academic positions
- Strengthening the quality of future applications for external funding
The funds must be used in 2024. A report on the allocated funds must be submitted in the fall of 2024. A new addition this year is a shared sub-project number for all the strategic funds: 102617001

- Individual researchers and groups can apply (including temporary employees such as PhD fellows and postdoctoral fellows). Collaborations across disciplines and sections is an advantage. In the evaluation of applications, emphasis may be placed on the goal of supporting young researchers in the early stages of their careers, as well as increasing diversity and the proportion of women among the top academic positions. Applicants who received funding last year will not be given priority this year as a general rule. The department head, together with the department leadership, will evaluate the applications and make a prioritization.
