Energy Systems Graduate School

Forskarskolan energisystem sits under the Swedish Energy Agency and funds interdisciplinary doctoral research schools on energy systems at Swedish higher education institutions. It is not a single-project grant in the usual sense; it is institutional support for a structured doctoral environment that brings together multiple disciplines around the energy transition. The 2026 call has a total budget of about 60 MSEK. Only Swedish universities or higher education institutions with doctoral examination authority may apply, and the project structure requires two to three doctoral candidates across different Swedish institutions. Each school must combine social science or humanities with natural science or technical science, and the programme runs from December 2026 to December 2031. The strongest applications will have a clear cross-institution setup, a credible supervision structure, and a real research plan that bridges disciplinary divides. The program suits universities that can organize doctoral training around an energy-systems question and show that the candidate mix, academic leadership, and collaborating institutions are all in place.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
