Take part in our review work
All research applications that meet the conditions of our calls are submitted to review panels for evaluation. These panels consist of both researchers and societal representatives within Forte’s areas of health, working life and welfare.

Each year, Forte engages several review panels and around 250 reviewers. Together, they assess approximately 2000 applications for research funding.
The panels are composed of researchers with subject expertise relevant to each area. In addition, societal representatives contribute by safeguarding the public interest and ensuring the societal relevance of the research. The assessments are based on the criteria established for each call.
