Dear collegues, I have taken over the coordination of CEC Fellows from Lina Nikoleris as of August, and will do my best together with Lina and Yann Clough to give you timely and relevant info on upcoming calls and events in this Newsletter.
New from now in the Newsletter is a bit more focus on info from stakeholders and the development of research policy and trends with respect to research connected to Agenda 2030 and the SDGs.
Please let me know what you think of this, and indeed, if you have suggestions and feedback on the development of CEC Fellows, do let me know! The upcoming weeks we will work on the CEC Fellows homepage to clarify the aim of the fellowship and so forth.
Also, don’t forget that you can get support when writing research applications – updated info on that is available on the CEC Fellows homepage and in this direct link.
Best wishes Marianne Hall, Research Coordinator at CEC

Identified research needs: How to connect the SDG goals and to understand, quantify and visualize conflicts and synergies. Also spill-over effects between nations and north/south, post 2030-perspectives, and transdisciplinary research and action based research.
- Additional ERC Funding opportunities. For researchers who scored high in ERC calls but did not receive funding, there are national funding opportunities. The Swedish Foundations’ Starting Grant is an annual opportunity for researchers who scored A in the ERC Starting Grant call. Further funding opportunities are available from Swedish funders; the Swedish Research Council is working on a report on this that will be available later this fall.
