Research
Geological research is the foundation that carries Earth science and its applications forward. SGUs contribution is to provide support to universities, conduct our own research, and take part in networks and collaboration projects.
SGU provides fundings for research in Earth science to Swedish universities. The aim with the research support is to meet society’s need for applied geology and contribute to a sustainable development. It is the Swedish government that decides how much funding SGU can distribute as support for geoscience research.
If you want to know more about how to apply for project funding for geoscience projects and about projects that SGU finances and has financed, please contact our research coordinators.
SGU also conducts its own research as well as take part in networks and collaboration projects, with for example universities.
