Upcoming activities

January 20, from 10:00 to 12:00 in Ga829: From Feedback to Stronger Applications – Lessons Learned for Future Research Proposals

How can we move forward based on feedback from applications that were not granted funding, and what lessons can we learn to strengthen future applications?

We invite you to a seminar where we will discuss these questions. Eleonor Fransson, Boel Andersson Gäre och Linda Johannson will participate and share their perspectives on what is important to consider in the application process.

Location: School of Health and Welfare (Hälsohögskolan), Jönköping University

January 29, 1:00–2:00 PM, Cancerfonden welcomes you to an inspiration and knowledge session! Are you a researcher curious about how you can fund your research through Cancerfonden? Meet representatives from Cancerfonden who will explain which grants you can apply for, what we look for in successful applications, and which common pitfalls to avoid.

Many researchers who could apply for Cancerfonden’s grants don’t do so—often because they believe the research must focus solely on cancer. That’s not the case! Cancerfonden funds a wide range of projects that, in various ways, contribute to preventing cancer, understanding how cancer develops, or improving the lives of those affected.

Representatives will share practical tips, examples, and insights. After the presentation, there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.

Location: JMW-salen
