They are the Research Leaders of the Future – Framtidens Forskningsledare!
For the eighth time, the Foundation for Strategic Research has appointed the Research Leader of the Future, FFL-8. The 16 selected researchers receive a grant of 15 million SEK each over a five-year period and will during the program participate in a solid leadership training.
The goal of the FFL program is to give newly established researchers with the highest scientific and pedagogical competence the opportunity to develop as research leaders. The person must have the ambition to implement research results in society also outside the academy and at a later stage of their careers shoulder the responsibility for a constellation that is significantly larger than their own research group.
The research projects are wide-ranging, from investigating which genes makes bacteria to cause diseases and how bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, to how Arctic plants are affected by climate change and how that affects global warming, to how to facilitate “Urban mining”, to reuse building materials, through digital inventories.
