About the Grant

The Governance and Local Development Institute at the University of Gothenburg (GLD) announces the availability of a limited number of research fellowships for short-term research on Governance and Local Development. Awards averaging 25,000 SEK will be offered biannually to support research projects related to critical governance issues. Recipients are expected to submit a paper to be included in the GLD Working Paper Series. This call is open to all scholars, regardless of any prior GLD affiliation.

How to Apply

Interested candidates should send the following:

• A proposal including a description of the project/research plan (not more than 5 pgs long), schedule of work, and detailed budget estimate.
