The main purpose of the support is to facilitate the development of innovative, high-quality research by creating new patterns of collaboration patterns within Uppsala University. The support is intended to create opportunities for establishing and developing cross-cutting research networks within the university. For example, the support can be used to advance ideas for one or a few specific research projects or to organise meetings to develop new collaborations. The goal is to stimulate the creation of new research projects that successfully can compete for external funding.
The support is primarily aimed to facilitate such collaborations within the Disciplinary Domain of Humanities and Social Sciences at Uppsala University. Collaborations involving researchers from the other disciplinary domains within Uppsala University may also fall within the remit of the support.
