Grant policy
The Foundation mainly supports research projects and education related to the humanities.
The Foundation awards grants to Swedish universities and similar research and education institutions within the following areas:
Research projects with high scientific potential; researcher-initiated projects of the highest international standards focusing on a coherent scientific issue.
Priority projects include new research areas and research of a cross-border nature.
The Foundation sends applications out for peer review.
Children and youth projects
In addition, the Foundation supports children and youth projects run by established non-profit national organizations, academies, museums and universities.
Operating grants are not awarded, nor are funds granted to individuals.
Publishing
Research funded by the Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg Foundation must be published with open access, that is, published articles must be archived in openly searchable databases. The respective university's rules apply to open access. The additional cost for this can be taken up as a direct cost in project applications.
Other
Direct applications to the Foundation concerning travels, conference fees etc. will not be accepted. No grants for individual education are awarded, except for the Foundation’s stipend programs. Grants for reconstruction of buildings or interior design or publishing are normally not accepted. Grants are only awarded to non-profit organizations.
