How SASUF is Funded

The SASUF collaboration is funded by the Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education (STINT). The STINT grant is of great importance to the project, and is the main rock that makes implementation of projects possible. The anticipated level of activities within the scope of the project also requires additional funding, and the participating universities will therefore add a further 18 million SEK to ensure the success of the project.

The budget for SASUF only includes co-funding from Swedish universities. South African universities will co-fund the project through both in kind and in cash contributions. To allow for a wide participation of universities in South Africa, no fixed sum has been set as a requirement for South African universities to take part in SASUF 2030. The consortium is currently discussing options for co-funding SASUF 2030 with South African funding agencies.
