Ansök till Linnaeus-Palme partnerskap
Den 1 februari öppnar årets ansökan till Linnaeus-Palme partnerskap. Efter ett par år med nedskärningar har programmets budget åter ökat. De senaste åren har UHR inte förbrukat den avsatta budgeten. Nytt för i år är att gränsen har tagits bort för hur många gånger ett partnerskap kan beviljas bidrag. Partnerskap som tidigare uppnått maxgränsen för finansiering kan därmed ansöka om fortsatt finansiering med samma partner. Nytt från förra ansökningsomgången är möjligheten att ansöka för kortare utbyten, fler deltagare och nya aktiviteter – workshoppar, tematiska seminarier, digitala initiativ och andra kapacitets-byggande och partnerskapsstärkande aktiviteter – samt att ansökan innehåller färre ansökningsfrågor än tidigare.

Programmet Linnaeus-Palme omfattar två typer av aktiviteter för att främja utbildningssamarbeten med institutioner i låg- och medelinkomstländer: Linnaeus-Palme planering som ger bidrag till kontaktresor och Linnaeus-Palme partnerskap som ger bidrag till lärar- och studentutbyten samt partnerskapsstärkande aktiviteter. Linnaeus-Palme planering förväntas öppna för ansökan nästa gång hösten 2022.

Information om programmet och handläggning inom Lunds universitet för ansökan hittar du på Medarbetarwebben

Sista ansökningsdag: 15 mars 2022, LU-intern deadline: 25 februari 2022.
Call for applications – Linnaeus-Palme Partnership
On 1 February, Linnaeus-Palme Partnership will open for applications. After a few years of cuts, the programme's budget has again increased. In the past few years, the designated budget has not been used up. New from this year is that there is no limit to the number of times a partnership can be awarded a grant. Partnerships that have previously reached the maximum limit for financing can thus apply for continued financing with the same partner. New since the previous application round is the opportunity to apply for shorter exchanges, more participants and new activities – workshops, thematic seminars, digital initiatives and other capacity building and partnership strengthening activities – and that the application contains fewer application questions than before.

Linnaeus-Palme is a programme for educational collaboration with low- and middle-income countries. It has two components: Linnaeus-Palme Planning giving funding to visits to strengthen contacts and Linnaeus-Palme Partnership giving funding to exchange of teaching staff and students and partnership strengthening activities. Next call to Linnaeus-Palme planning is expected to open in autumn 2022.

More information about the programme and on Lund University’s internal handling of applications is available on the LU Staff pages

Application deadline: 15 March 2022, LU internal deadline: 25 February 2022.
