The foundation, which was established in 1993, hereby announces grants for the year 2026. The following excerpts from the statutes of the Foundation define what grants can be given.

  1. The purpose of the Foundation for Applied Thermodynamics is to support research and development of thermodynamic databases and software that, in various applications benefit human life, work, and the environment. This should mainly happen through scholarships and grants to individual researchers.
  2. Grants from the foundation can be applied for by researchers or research students who work with modelling, development or applications of thermodynamic calculations in the fields of materials science, energy, physics, or chemistry. Preference should be given to purposes that benefit this activity at KTH. The purpose of the scholarship can be, for example, research projects, participation in a conference, study visits or funding of a guest researcher. In exceptional cases, funding may be granted for scientific equipment.
