KBC Infrastructure Support: Call for Applications 2027 and Reporting 2024-2026
The KBC Board invites applications for research infrastructure support for 2027. A total of 2.536 MSEK is available for allocation. Please note that the reason why the call is for only one year this time is because KBC will undergo an evaluation by the faculties during 2026–2027, and the current model for distributing infrastructure funding is likely to be revised from 2028.
The call is open to both local infrastructures and those providing services at local and national levels. For the latter, it is important to note that KBC funding can only support local activities. This must be clearly described in the application. The call is also open to new infrastructures, as well as those established platforms that have not previously received support from KBC.
Infrastructures that received KBC funding during the period 2024–2026 are required to submit a report covering their activities from 1 January 2024 to 30 June 2026. For this round, the KBC Board requests detailed two-and-a-half-year reports, as summaries will be used to compile the KBC three-year activity report, to be finalised in autumn 2026.
