SSF is funding twelve new industrial doctoral students
SSF has an annual program for industrial doctoral students. This year, twelve projects will receive funding, all with 2.5 million each over five years. It is estimated to cover half of the costs for the doctoral student. The initiative applies to people who have not yet been admitted to postgraduate education.
SSF’s program for industrial doctoral students has been running since 2014 and so far 84 doctoral students have been funded. They are gradually defending their dissertations and giving Swedish competitiveness a skills boost.
This year, projects on everything from data-driven maintenance in power grids to how small proteins can be combined with antibodies for immunotherapy, solar-powered sensors with long life, bone-anchored hearing implants, better antennas and environmentally friendly cleaning methods are coming together. Other projects are about precision medicine, new materials that give products such as solar cells and cemented carbide better performance and which are more environmentally friendly than today. All in all, the various projects give a good picture of where technology is heading.
Note that applicants who are granted funding are supervisors at the university. A supervisor must also be present at the company where the doctoral project is to be carried out.
