Mistra seeks to promote sustainable development. One way is by investing in collaboration, aimed at solving major environmental problems, between researchers and users. Mistra offers grants for addressing such problems through bridge-building research. Such bridges link various research disciplines, on the one hand, and pure research and practical applications on the other. Practitioners in Swedish companies and public agencies, legislators, international negotiators and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as well as researchers in different fields, can all be involved in research programmes funded by Mistra. Researchers and practitioners from other countries, too, can participate alongside their Swedish counterparts.

This call is for pre-proposals for research programmes designed to run for one or more phases, which typically last three or four years each. Each programme´s annual budget may be in the range of SEK 3-18 million. Mistra endorses flexibility in terms of size and duration, with programme design appropriate for the task concerned. Mistra expects this 2007 call to generate two or three new programmes with an aggregate annual budget of some SEK 20m, and welcomes cofunding from other sources.

How to submit Pre-Proposals:
The Pre-Proposals must be submitted by e-mail to opencall@mistra.org not later than 4.00 pm on September 20, 2007. Please follow the instructions in the call concerning content and other conditions. If possible please bundle your proposal in one document, preferably as a pdf file.
