Projects should normally take place entirely in the target country or partly in Sweden and partly in the target country. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has radically changed their opportunities to travel and meet physically, for the moment at least. It is important that you take this into account when designing your project.
During the ongoing pandemic, they are exceptionally allowing applicants to allocate up to 50 per cent of the total budget to project management and administration. This applies to the Call which opens on 1 December 2020.
How To Apply

Click on the link given on their website that will take you to the online application form. (Only accessible when a Call for Applications is open.)
