More information about the call

Call for project applications to the themed calls from Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg Foundation and the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation 2025

The foundations had two themed calls in 2025 (the text below is not official since the foundations hasn’t updated their English webpages yet, it is translated from Swedish) out of which one is of relevance for the Faculty of Medicine:

Youth psychology/psychiatry

The area includes methods to assess, investigate, diagnose, treat, follow up and prevent mental illness and psychological/psychiatric problems in children and young people (0–18 years). Knowledge in Developmental psychology as well as knowledge of medical, societal and social factors that affect the mental health of children and young people, including evidence-based psychological work methods, are of relevance. Knowledge development about pharmacological treatment and how it interacts with psychological treatment as well as knowledge development about laws, regulations and ethical issues that affect work with children and young people is covered by the call.

The Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation (MMW) primarily awards grants in the social sciences and the Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg Foundation (MAW) primarily awards grants in the humanities.

Information and guidelines for the calls also exist on each Foundations webpage. Please note - currently (2024-09-13) only the Swedish websites has the updated call information:

The internal deadline at the Faculty of Medicine is Tuesday, November 26. The Letter of Intent should be sent to birgitta [dot] larsson [at] med [dot] lu [dot] se

The content of the Letter of Intent is described in Appendix 1 of the management rules (document/link below).  

The application must be approved by the head of department, but no co-financing certificate is required at this stage of the application process. However, each main applicant is responsible for contacting their head of department and getting the application approved before the LoI is submitted.

If you have questions contact Birgitta [dot] larsson [at] med [dot] lu [dot] se (Birgitta[dot]larsson[at]med[dot]lu[dot]se)

Call for grants applications 2025

The Mats Paulsson’s foundation for research, innovation and societal development promotes scientific research in life science. Since 2019, priority is given to supporting research projects with high innovation potential and relevance to society in the near future.

Since 2019, the Foundation has awarded SEK 85.2 million in grants to 39 research projects of this type at Lund University and Malmö University.

With the above-mentioned focus, the Foundation invites the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University and Malmö University to prioritize applications within the following project types in 2025:

  • Innovative research projects in life science
  • Innovative research projects specifically in ATMP and/or cancer
  • Equipment critical for the implementation of specific innovative research projects in the above-mentioned areas.

The Foundation attaches great importance to the projects:

  • scientific quality,
  • innovation potential and potential for exploitation, directly in healthcare and/or through subsequent market development,
  • the ability to generate new collaborations within and between higher education institutions.

Applications must relate to concrete and practically oriented research and for each type of project the following applies:

Innovative research projects in life science:

  • Maximum grant amount per application: 2 million SEK
  • Maximum project duration: 2 years.
  • The application must contain a well-developed innovation plan that includes the research's potential for exploitation and market development through new products/services.

Innovative research projects specifically in ATMP and/or cancer:

  • Maximum grant amount per application: 3 million SEK.

  • The application must contain a well-developed innovation plan that includes the research's potential for exploitation and market development through new products/services.

Equipment critical for the implementation of specific innovative research projects in the above-mentioned areas:

  • Maximum grant amount per application: 2 million SEK.
  • The application should concern equipment within the scope of a specific innovation project. Equipment that meets the needs of several research groups within the life science field at their respective universities will be prioritized. A plan for making the equipment accessible must be included.
  • Applications for equipment not linked to a specific innovation project will not be granted.

Stage 1

The Faculty of Medicine at Lund University, Lund University of Technology, and Malmö University are invited to prioritize a maximum of fifteen proposals for recipients of grants.
