Savings Banks Research Foundation

Each year, we award grants for scientific studies focusing on the economic, social and legal issues related to the money markets and saving, for example. We award grants for actual research, primarily for doctoral dissertations and post-doctoral research. The aim is to award grants for completing research that has already received support.

Grants are not awarded for undergraduate studies.

The Savings Banks Research Foundation awards grants annually. The application period is in October. The Board of the Foundation reviews the proposals and decides on the grants by the beginning of December.

Detailed application instructions and a link to the application form can be found here.
