Murros-call offers an additional one million in funding
Alongside the general funding call, a separate Murros-call is also open. In this call, we are awarding an additional €1,000,000 to projects that generate deeper understanding, new perspectives, and science-based solutions for breaking away from structural overconsumption.

Information sessions for the 2025 grant calls
We organised two separate info sessions on the autumn 2025 funding calls. In the first, we focused on science-based action project funding and the Murros-call. The second event covered funding for doctoral thesis and postdoc research.
Watch the sessions to learn about the types of projects the Nessling Foundation is looking to fund this year, along with tips on how to approach different sections of your application, such as the interaction and communication plan. Additionally, previous grant recipients shared their experiences from the application process.
