Mistra invests some SEK 200 million in research annually. Although most of this funding goes to the main Mistra research programmes some, known as “Mistra seed funding", is earmarked for small project groups.

The aim of every Mistra programme is to contribute to solving major environmental problems. The researchers involved in the programme do their work in dialogue with practitioners from Swedish enterprises, public authorities and legislative bodies, as well as international negotiating bodies and non-governmental organisations, with a view to making their research results useful in practice, to achieve sustainable development. All Mistra programmes are interdisciplinary.

The average duration of a Mistra programme is 6-8 years, with an annual budget of SEK 6-12 million. New Mistra programmes can be initiated in one of two ways. Either Mistra announces programme funding in a specific, topical area, or a proposal is submitted to Mistra. Planning a Mistra programme takes about one year. The programmes are planned in a dialogue process between researchers and target users of the research results. Funding is available for the planning of projects.
