Dear Sir/Madame,

 

The Volvo Research and Educational Foundations (VREF) provide funding of a

programme entitled "Future Urban Transport" (FUT), with the subtitle "How to

cope with the complexity of urban transport development".

 

The programme activities are:

 

      1. Funding of a relatively small number of larger scientific

projects with the aim to support / create Centres of Excellence (CoE) within

the FUT area. 

      The annual funding of a CoE in full operation is normally in the

range of SEK 4,000,000-6,000,000 (about EUR 450,000-650,000 or USD

500,000-800,000) with an expected duration for a successful centre of 5

years.

 

      2. Funding of a number of Smaller Projects for research/education or

well-structured surveys of knowledge in the FUT area.

      The duration is one or two years, engaging typically one person

(part or full time) addressing a central problem within the FUT programme. 

      The annual project budget for a Smaller Project is normally SEK

300,000-800,000 (about USD 38,000-100,000 or EUR 32,000-85,000).

 

      3. Organisation of a series of high level Conferences (every 2nd or

3rd year). The initiative to organise the conferences will be taken by 

      VREF. The next FUT-conference will take place in April 2006 in

Göteborg, Sweden. 

      For details, please visit www.fut.se .

 

 

More information about the Foundations, the FUT programme and how apply for

funding, is found at the VREF web-site:

We look very much forward to your response to this programme.

 

 

Best regards,

Vänliga hälsningar,
