This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the foundation Riksbankens Jubileumsfond. In this year's major round of research funding, the foundation's board of directors has decided to fund a total of 77 projects in the humanities and social sciences for a total of just over SEK 370 million. Five of these projects are run by researchers at Karolinska Institutet.
In order to finance the applications that are of the highest scientific quality, the foundation Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (RJ) attaches great importance to the assessment of the research applications.
The applications are assessed and prioritised in one or more of RJ's review panels and by external experts.
The following KI researchers have been awarded grants from RJ:
