VFS is a funding opportunity for researchers who wish to initiate new collaboration projects with private, public or non-profit organisations. Projects can receive funding by up to 300.000 SEK.

VFS funds provide researchers and external organisations the opportunity to develop collaboration around a challenge of common interest. The funding is intended to test - verify - whether the partners have enough in common to build on, for example, to seek additional funding for continued collaboration.

Application process

Applications for VFS funding are always made in consultation with the university's Innovation partnership office, and includes two deadlines.

If you are interested in applying, start by contacting one of its collaboration managers well in advance of the first deadline
