Stiftelsen Konung Gustaf V:s Jubileumsfond (RJ) is a major Swedish research funder focused on strengthening the humanities and social sciences through substantial, often field-shaping grants. It supports everything from early-stage project initiation and large programme grants to research infrastructure, fellowships, and collaboration/knowledge-exchange activities, with a notable emphasis on internationally relevant scholarship rooted in Sweden and the Nordic region. The grantees suggest a strong interest in interdisciplinary work, museum and archival collections, and projects that connect academic research with broader public understanding.
RJ appears to give through structured, program-based calls rather than open-ended rolling grants, with multiple recurring funding lines for projects, programmes, infrastructure, fellowships, and collaboration support. Grants can range from smaller initiation awards to larger programme-level and infrastructure commitments, typically awarded via competitive application rounds and formal reporting requirements.

Watch for the annual or cycle-based calls listed on RJ’s website and apply under the program that best matches the stage of your work (initiation, project, programme, infrastructure, or collaboration). Proposals should clearly show significance for the humanities/social sciences, strong research quality, and, where relevant, collaboration, dissemination, or infrastructure value in Sweden or the Nordic region.
