With a total of 41 grants awarded, Lund University maintains its strong position in the field of natural sciences and engineering in the national competition between the country's higher education institutions.
"Our researchers account for just over 17% of the grants awarded to Lund University. It is gratifying that the Department of Physics continues to perform well in the national competition for research grants from the Swedish Research Council, says Else Lytken, Head of Department.
The Swedish Research Council has decided on a number of calls for proposals in natural sciences and engineering sciences for 2025. In total, the Swedish Research Council is granting just over SEK 1.37 billion for the years 2026–2029.
