Research Support Division (FOSA)

The Research Support Division offers support for research funding processes and the realisation of larger research projects, as well as analysis and global monitoring of research and research funding-related questions.

The Research Support Division (FOSA) has three overall missions:

  • To support research funding processes within the EU's Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, as well as for prioritised national funders
  • To support the realisation of large research initiatives at LiU
  • To analyse and monitor research and research funding questions, with regard to both national and international funding.

To achieve this, we offer the following support:

  • Qualified guidance and research coordination aimed at assisting in the application process and implementation of extensive research initiatives from LiU
  • Qualified project management and research coordination aimed at assisting the realisation of extensive research initiatives at LiU; as well as
  • Qualified analysis and help with global monitoring and analysis of specific research areas.

The Research Supports Division (FOSA) is organised into three units who worked closely together:

  • Grants Office
  • Program Office
  • Research Analysis Office
