Currently open opportunities to support new or expand existing collaborations

  1. Seed funding for research and education collaborations with select partner universities (GloHub) 2025 – apply by 31 March

The funding is aimed at researchers and teachers with a PhD degree employed at Lund University, as well as colleagues with a PhD degree employed at the National University of Singapore, the University of California, Berkeley, or the University of Melbourne, i.e. universities that participate in the LU-led collaboration project GloHub.

The funds, up to a maximum of SEK 60 000 per award, are intended to explore and develop collaborations that have the potential to lead to a sustainable partnership, externally funded projects and joint publications/education initiatives.

3. GloHub doctoral student mobility initiative – apply by 17 April (for Melbourne candidates)

The GloHub doctoral student mobility initiative aims to strengthen engagement between Lund University and the three GloHub partner universities: National University of Singapore, UC Berkeley and University of Melbourne.

Doctoral students from National University of Singapore, UC Berkeley and University of Melbourne are invited to apply for a mobility grant to spend between one and three months at Lund University. The grant will enable the researchers to continue their education, pursuing their own research project during the mobility period, parallel to joining a research group and having a host supervisor at Lund University.

Doctoral student mobility can take place in any field of research. The funding is a contribution to costs associated with travel and accommodation and other expenditures. Salary and visa costs are not included in the grant.

For doctoral students interested in this opportunity please contact your Lund University colleague or find a new contact in our research portal: Find research and researchers.
