Young Researchers Win Scholarships for Swedish Conference

NASP and The Swedish Suicide Research Conference (SSRC) is excited to announce the recipients of its early-career researcher scholarships. These scholarships aim to support promising researchers by providing financial assistance to attend the conference and present their work.

In 2025, ten scholarships were awarded to outstanding candidates from Sweden, Belgium and the United Kingdom. The selection process was competitive, with applications evaluated based on their scientific quality, novelty and relevance to the conference.

"We hope that the support and visibility this scholarship offers to young researchers will enable them to make impactful contributions to the field of suicidology and suicide prevention", says Sara Sütori , project manager for the SSRC.

The conference will take place May 6-7, 2025 at World Trade Center Stockholm. The SSRC aims to establish a new scientific platform where researchers from various fields with a shared interest in suicide research can exchange knowledge, discuss scientific methods, build networks, initiate collaborative projects, develop their skills, and influence evidence-based policy.
