The Jan Löfqvist Endowment

Once annually

Please first read “Rules Governing the Endowments of the Society”

The grant is intended to support research in zoology in a wide sense, for example by inviting internationally reputed research leaders for a research stay in Sweden, in which case the exchange shall be intended to widen international cooperation for creative research within zoology. The application shall primarily be made by a researcher leading an active Swedish research group. At equal merits, researchers active at universities and univerity collages in southern Sweden are prioritized.

A research programme (maximum 2 A4 pages) shall be included with the application, as well as a short curriculum vitae. Please note the information on publications provided under the heading “Advice for Making Applications”. An application for a research grant must include a clear specification of its intended use. Funds can be awarded for materials, laboratory animals, etc., which can be characterised as running costs, but they must be plainly specified. Applications lacking a clear specification for the requested funds will not be considered.

No grants will be awarded to applicants who have not handed in the Final Report on work financed by grants previously received from the Society. NOTE! The "Two-year rule" applies! Grants received last year and not completed, do not need to be reported if you intend to apply this year.

The application forms available on our web pages must be used.

The application form will become available approximately two months before the application deadline.
