SEK 25 million to boost basic research in mathematics

This year, fifteen mathematicians will share funding worth 25 million Swedish kronor from Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation’s mathematics program, enabling young mathematicians to conduct research at some of the world’s leading environments for mathematics and then return to Sweden.“Advanced mathematics skills are an important foundation for many other sciences, as well as for the development of new technology. This is particularly visible in the rapid development of areas such as data-driven life science, AI and quantum engineering. If Sweden is to keep up with these developments, we

Major funding to strengthen basic research in mathematics

This year, sixteen leading mathematicians will receive funding from Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation’s mathematics program. Advanced mathematics provides an important foundation for many other sciences and the development of new technology, which is why the Foundation has granted SEK 25 million from the program every year since 2014.“Mathematics is everywhere. We may not always be aware of it, but mathematics is found throughout our daily lives, applied to everything from bank payments and web searches, to what is now a very relevant field, infectious diseases. But contemporary

Wallenberg Clinical Scholars: SEK 60 million in funding for research physicians

This year’s Wallenberg Clinical Scholars, from Lund, Linköping and Stockholm, are aiming to find methods that slow the progression of Huntington’s disease, contribute to the development of more effective pain medication, refine the treatment of overweight, and cure rheumatoid arthritis. This is clinical research that can be of direct benefit in the healthcare system.Wallenberg Clinical Scholars each receive funding worth SEK 15 million over a five-year period, with the opportunity to extend this for an additional five years. “The Foundation primarily supports basic research, but we also

Continuing major investments in mathematics

The development of new medicines, decision-making support, artificial intelligence and other areas that are essential to improving people’s health and quality of life are entirely dependent on new mathematics and skilled researchers in mathematics. This year, fifteen mathematicians will receive funding from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation’s mathematics program.To boost Swedish mathematics research, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation launched a research program in mathematics in 2014. “New mathematics helps us to understand the links between genetics and disease, for

Four chief physicians who are active researchers to be Wallenberg Clinical Scholars 2018

This year’s Wallenberg Clinical Scholars conduct outstanding clinical research in order to discover markers that can reveal dementia and Parkinson’s disease at an early stage, to develop better treatments for the blood cancers leukemia and MDS, as well as conducting revolutionary research in uterus transplantation.“The Foundation primarily supports basic research, but through this program we also aim to provide a long-term boost to Swedish clinical, patient-based research. Through their contacts with patients, doctors who conduct research are often able to capitalize more rapidly on the

Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation boosts important research

The rapid developments now occurring in automation and digitalization, and a large proportion of the progress being made in research, build upon enormous amounts of data. Advanced mathematics is required to be able to use all the information this provides. The fourteen mathematicians who will receive 2018’s grants from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation’s comprehensive investment in mathematics are presented below.“Mathematics has always been key to societal development, but due to the incredible amounts of data that can now be produced, it is being focused on in an entirely new way.

Investing millions in mathematics

The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation is continuing its investments in Swedish mathematics research. This year’s grants will make it possible for 13 mathematicians to develop their research, search for the solutions to unsolved problems and to boost Sweden as a research nation.Since 2014, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences have supported mathematical research in Sweden through an extensive mathematics program. Its aim is that Sweden will regain an internationally leading position in the area. This year’s funding allows Swedish

Blood cancer cells and pneumococcal bacteria in focus for this year’s Wallenberg Clinical Scholars

This year’s two Wallenberg Clinical Scholars are each taking on an important medical challenge. Professor Birgitta Henriques Normark wants to find out how new strains of S. pneumoniae form and become resistant to antibiotics. Professor Richard Rosenquist Brandell will study blood cancer cells.The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation is one of the largest private financiers of research in Europe. Swedish research receives funding in various scientific fields via a number of research programs. One of these programs is Wallenberg Clinical Scholars, which supports and encourages some of the

Five high-level Swedish researchers to be Wallenberg Clinical Scholars

The five clinical researchers study common diseases such as Parkinson’s, kidney failure, osteoporosis, dementia and cardiovascular diseases. The individual funding of SEK 15 million provides them with the opportunity to deepen their research and disseminate their results in healthcare.The aim of the Wallenberg Clinical Scholars program is to boost Swedish clinical research by identifying the best clinical researchers, providing them with good conditions for conducting activities and disseminating their research results, both in the scientific community and in healthcare.  “Clinical

Millions in funding for mathematicians

Fifteen prominent mathematicians will receive funding to bring Swedish mathematics research back to the international top. Since 2014, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences have supported mathematics research in Sweden through the Program for Mathematics. The aim of the program is that Sweden will retake a top international position in the field.Sweden has a long tradition of internationally renowned mathematicians and many students want to study doctorates in the field. There is also a great demand for mathematicians with doctoral degrees.
