The grants of this call are intended to enable researchers in Sweden to spend their postdoc period at a research institute abroad, and to enable researchers in other countries to do their postdoc at a research institute in Sweden.
The call is open to applications within Forte’s overall areas of responsibility: health, working life and welfare.
