This page provides FoSWs package of guidelines, for instances those for applications, budget and reports of activities.
General: FoSW PhD-courses are in the first place ment for PhD-students. If place(s) is/are available at deadline date for application, researchers can attend courses, but not the eventual part of an individual project. Focus on Soils & Water is fully funded by means for post-graduate education of SLU's faculty of Natural Resources and Agriculture. For this reason, each course needs to have a minimum number and percentage of SLU PhD-students to get fully funded. Moreover, an additional course fee can be asked of those, who are interested to participate, but neither is a PhD-student, nor employed by SLU. This can be relevant for instance when there is a commercial interest in a competence the course covers. The steering committee suggested a tentative additional course fee of 1000 -1500 SEK per course day excluding costs for lodging, food, course material (FoSW_SCMminutes080602).
