Swedish Writers' Union - Längmanska Cultural Foundation

Längmanska Cultural Foundation grant

You will receive a one-off grant of up to about 4,450 EUR (up to 50,000 SEK) for a specific cultural or research project. The Swedish foundation has been supporting such projects since 1919, funded by a private bequest. It supports four areas: the humanities (including theology and law), the natural sciences (including medicine), the arts and literature (including music, dance and film), and adult education (Folkbildning). The funds are intended to finance a specifically defined project or publication.

Who can apply

• Who: Both individuals and organisations may submit an application. Associations and institutions are only eligible for funding for a specific task or publication that is not covered by their normal work.
• Field: Your project falls within the fields of the humanities, natural sciences, art and literature, or adult education.
• Academic level: For projects in the humanities, you are usually required to hold a doctoral degree (PhD) or a higher academic qualification.
• Not your own studies: The scholarship is not intended to fund your own education or further training.
• Not finished work: Your project must still be unfinished at the time the funding is awarded.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.

How to apply

Applications must be submitted exclusively via the Foundation’s online system. The system is open every year from 1 October to 15 January, from 23:59. Please write your application in Swedish. Attachments may be in English, but must include a brief summary in Swedish. You will be notified of the decision by email in the first half of May.
