Sweden has 16 environmental quality objectives, one being A non-toxic environment – an important matter for the future, with relevance to many of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

Formas welcomes applications from different disciplines.

Budget per application: Up to 3 million SEK/year.
Length of project: Up to 4 years.
