What kind of research can you get a grant for?
We award grants annually for research in economic, social and legal matters, for example. We award grants for the actual research work, primarily for doctoral theses and postdoctoral research. The aim is to award grants for completing research work that has already received support.
Grants are not awarded for undergraduate studies.
How to apply for a grant
The grants are awarded annually. Applications are accepted during the month of October. The Board of the Foundation reviews the proposals and decides on the grants by the beginning of December.
