The programs of the French Embassy / French Institute in Sweden aim to increase scientific and academic cooperation between France and Sweden by giving people active in research the opportunity to develop their professional network in the other country or to strengthen Franco-Swedish research cooperation. The programs are open to any person active in research, whatever their field of research, in the exact sciences as well as in the humanities or social sciences. Scholarships cover travel and living expenses, but not salaries or research equipment. Several programs are available.
SFVE-A Program
The SFVE-A program (Svensk Fransk Vetenskap–Anslag) aims at promoting scientific and academic cooperations between France and Sweden by giving researchers established in a Swedish or a French institution (e.g. university, research laboratory, etc.) the opportunity to participate in a mobility program between both countries in 2025.
The thematic priorities of the program are those connected to the renewed strategic partnership between Sweden and France signed by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and President Emmanuel Macron on January 30, 2024. Other fields are also eligible for application. In addition, please note that at least two grants will be awarded to projects in the humanities and social sciences, and related to culture.
The call for applications is open until November 11, 2024, for mobilities taking place between January 20, 2025 and November 30, 2025.
