These are the SSF-ARC centers that share SEK 200 million
It is now decided which research centers that receive grants in the Agenda 2030 Research Centers (SSF-ARC) call. Four special strategic areas are identified by SSF and each center receives SEK 50 million.
The purpose of the initiative is to find solutions to some of the UN Agenda 2030 goals.
The following research centers receive funding:
