Forum Scientium receives funding from the Swedish Research Council
The Swedish Research Council has announced that Forum Scientium will get funding during five years, in total 12.5 million SEK! This is an acknowledgement of the work that has been done within Forum Scientium, first during the start-up 1996 and then continuously during 11 years. We would not have got this new funding if we had not continued to be a dynamic doctoral programme. Especially all PhD-students contributing with new ideas through the Student Council have been vital to Forums success!
