Grants to 18 research projects that may lead to future scientific breakthroughs

Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has granted a total of SEK 560 million to 18 research projects considered to be of the highest international level, and potentially leading to future scientific breakthroughs.– Project funding is granted primarily for basic research in the fields of medicine, technology and the natural sciences. The grants give the researchers the opportunity to try out new and bold ideas over an extended period. The main idea is to give the researchers freedom, both to succeed and fail, without any demands for results or applications,” says Peter Wallenberg Jr, chairman
