Applications should be submitted to the Swedish Institute for the Marine Environment, which, in consultation with the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management and Sweden’s delegate to the ICES´ Science Committee, assists Formas in evaluating the applications. Based on this assessment, Formas will then decide which researchers will receive funding. For applications for activities taking place in 2025, submissions will be processed after October 31.
The primary aim at present is to strengthen participation with social science expertise, broadly defined, in support of ecosystem-based management.
ICES is an intergovernmental organization with the goal of developing and sharing scientific knowledge about marine ecosystems and the services they provide. This knowledge is used to deliver scientific advice on conservation, management, and sustainable use. Learn more at ICES.dk.
