Formas, the Swedish Research Council for Environment, Agricultural Sciences and Spatial Planning, is a governmental research-funding agency with the aim to support scientifically significant research related to sustainable development. Funded projects cover a wide range of approaches from basic research to more applied efforts. Formas encourages cross- and interdisciplinary approaches, provides mechanisms for the communication of research results and stimulates the public debate on issues of concern emerging from or related to research for sustainable development. Formas is partly responsible for the Swedish contacts with the EU programmes under the 6th Framework Programme on Environment and Quality of Life. It also has several assignments related to the urban oriented actions within the 6th FP.
