Open call 2026

The call has a total budget of SEK 25 million and runs from mid-June to 30 September, with a deadline of 14:00. Decisions on received applications will be announced in December. The call is aimed at researchers at colleges/universities, institutes and companies with research activities, both nationally and internationally.

Prior to the open call, the call texts are presented with up-to-date descriptions of the research needs. All call texts will be updated before the call opens.

We believe that collaboration is a key factor in succeeding in the challenges raised in the call texts. Therefore, we would like applicants to contact us for dialogue about project ideas and the opportunity for collaboration, but also to ensure that the project is in line with the foundation's purpose.

Research areas


The Lantmännen Research Foundation operates in three focus areas: Agriculture and machinery, Food and health, and Bioenergy and green materials.  

For researchers

Here you will find collected information that makes it easier to apply for funding from the Lantmännen Research Foundation.

The Foundation's Handbook contains information on what must be included in an application. Also  use the assessment criteria as support. In addition to these criteria, applications are assessed for scientific quality and business potential. The projects that are granted funding are expected to provide knowledge that can be applied directly in Lantmännen's operations or at farm level.

We believe that collaboration is a key factor in succeeding in the challenges raised in the call texts. Therefore, we would like applicants to contact us for dialogue about project ideas and the opportunity for collaboration, but also to ensure that the project is in line with the foundation's purpose.

Applications and reports are submitted via the Foundation Portal. The Foundation Portal is also used by our reviewers to evaluate received applications and reports. To use the Foundation Portal, a personal account is needed, which is created at the first login.
