• Have potential future or long-term impact
• Build on potential synergies in the planned collaboration
• Merit ideas and align with the goals of PALS

The supported Event in Sweden (eg scientific meetings, summer schools or training/workshop), organized and coordinated jointly by the fellows, should:
