During the autumn, several research funding foundations announce their decisions. So far, nine applications from researchers at Karlstad University have been granted a total of close to SEK 40.5 million.
The Swedish Research Council, which is Sweden’s largest governmental research funding body, has granted educational science research funds to the project “Skolgång, utvecklingsvägar och skolerfarenheter för elever med neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar”.
A large proportion of our research is funded by taxes. More and more research financers therefore demand to make results publicy accessible.
Several funding agencies require from researchers who receive funding that they publish open access.
