This call for network grants aims to contribute to the exchange of knowledge between the research programmes that have been granted funding through the national programme for working life research. In total, SEK 500 000 is reserved for the period 2022–2024.

The purpose of this call is to strengthen the link between the six-year research programmes funded within the ten-year national research programme for working life research. The networks granted funding should create a creative interdisciplinary environment where, in particular, junior researchers from different universities can be engaged in interesting meetings. . The networks should focus on issues of work organisation, quality and content, gender and diversity in working life, the boundaryless working life, but also issues of working environment, ergonomics and the labour market.

At least two programmes that were granted funding in the calls Challenges in working life 2019 or Challenges in working life 2021 must be included in the network application. Other research environments can also be linked to the network.
