Create a Prisma account

Prisma is the joint application system for Forte, Formas and the Swedish Research Council. Through a single account in Prisma, you can manage your applications with all three research councils.

Prepare by uploading your CV and publications

All researchers participating in an application must create their own personal account in Prisma. In the account, you add information regarding your education, your work experience and the publications you need to apply for funding.

You can create and upload information about yourself in Prisma at any time, it doesn’t have to be in connection with applying to a specific call. You can then link this information to different applications, regardless of which research council is responsible for the call.

Your organisation must also have an account

In order to submit an application, the organisation that will administer the funds must also have an organisation account in Prisma. In order to open an organisation account, the organisation must be an approved administrating organisation.

Information for administrating organisations

Please note that the administrating organisation must be approved by Forte before you can apply for a grant.
