Book a personal grant application sparring time

The Nessling Foundation’s general grant call is open from August 12 to August 30. Are you wondering if your project is eligible for funding? A communication and interaction plan is a mandatory part of the application – are you unsure what to take into account when writing it? You can book a personal grant application sparring time starting from August 12.

We offer personal advice until the end of the application period. Please read beforehand carefully both the criteria for grant and the instructions for grant applicants (separate instructions for doctoral thesis, postdoc and science-based action project applications). As session times are limited, please book only one time for yourself and cancel your reservation if you are unable to use it.
