Riksbankens Jubileumsfond's mission is to give Swedish research within the foundation's areas of focus the capacity to attain international prominence.

RJ primarily funds high-quality applications from the researchers themselves. There are currently forms of support designed both for individual researchers and for smaller and larger groups. RJ announces grants for the regular funding initiatives  once a year, but researchers can apply for funding for conferences and academic networks throughout the year.

RJ also has targeted initiatives to develop and strengthen Swedish research in the humanities and social sciences. Inspiration for such targeted initiatives can come from many sources, such as evaluations of ongoing activities, conferences, review panels or the board.
