Call for research infrastructure 2026

På svenska

Call for applications for infrastructure investments within the Faculties of Medicine, the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Engineering, as well as regulations for the handling of applications, and information about Lund University's central call 2026.

Background

For a number of years, the national conditions for funding research infrastructure have meant that a large part of these must be financed by individual higher education institutions and thus often within the framework of the faculties' budgets. Researchers at the Faculties of Medicine and Science and the Faculty of Engineering (NMT) are offered the opportunity to apply for infrastructure funding from the faculties every year. As in previous years, the management of applications and the allocation of infrastructure funds will be coordinated centrally between the NMT faculties and Lund University in 2026.

Changes compared to previous years are:

Applicants cannot apply directly from Lund University. Applicants should indicate in the application sent to the Faculty of Medicine if they think funding from LU is justified and suggest an amount to be applied for.
Application is only to be submitted to the faculty of the main applicant. If funding is applied for from more than one faculty, the faculties will distribute the applications to each other.

Timetable

This year, N, M and LTH, as well as Lund University's research infrastructure call, have a deadline of 4 February. The call text for the Faculty of Medicine and the joint application form can be found at the bottom of this page.

For the current application round, SEK 10 million has been allocated from the Faculty of Medicine.

Application procedure

Read through the call text. Fill in the application form (the application must be written in English).

If the main applicant is employed at the Faculty of Medicine, the application should be sent to birgitta [dot] larsson [at] med [dot] lu [dot] se (birgitta[dot]larsson[at]med[dot]lu[dot]se) This also applies in cases where the application includes co-applicants from other faculties or concerns funds from Lund University.

Forms and call texts

Interim and final reporting of granted funds

Updated information regarding the reporting of infrastructure grants will be provided at the beginning of 2026.
