Calls

Broad calls covering all of Swedish Mining Innovation’s thematic areas are announced on a regular basis. The financed innovation projects should help to strengthen the sustainability and competitiveness of the Swedish mining and metal producing industry, for example through new technological achievements. The projects financed may be pre-studies, fullscale projects or pilot projects.

Project applications are evaluated by an external assessment team. This leaves a recommendation to Swedish Mining Innovation’s board, which, after a thematic review, leaves a decision to Vinnova. After that, Vinnova takes the formal decision on which projects are granted and administrates them.

In addition to broad calls, there are also opportunities for existing projects to apply for planning grants to gear up the whole or part of their Swedish Mining Innovation project.

Leverage call

The strategic innovation programme Swedish Mining Innovation and Vinnova invite all stakeholders who have or have had projects financed by SIP STRIM/Swedish Mining Innovation to seek planning grants for the exchange of their projects through international initiatives.

Upshifts may apply to entire projects or parts of projects and aim to write applications (with associated activities) that can lead to financing of continued work based on activities and results from projects funded by SIP STRIM/Swedish Mining Innovation.

Planning grants are to boost your previous result from SIP STRIM/Swedish Mining Innovation projects to European or International projects. The funding is to support the applications and consortium building.
