Grants awarded to interdisciplinary projects for sustainable development

The steering committee for Stockholm Trio for Sustainable Actions has decided to award grants to three projects within the call for funds for interdisciplinary collaborations on sustainable development.

The grants aim to support researchers and teachers at Karolinska Institutet, KTH, and Stockholm University in developing interdisciplinary collaborations on sustainable development across the three universities. The funded projects involve all three universities and contribute to Agenda 2030. Two of the projects that received funding from Stockholm Trio in 2024 have now been granted additional funding for 2025/26 to further expand their research.

“We are very pleased to support these three projects, which contribute to sustainable development and strengthen interdisciplinary collaborations between our three universities,” says Karin Dahlman Wright, Professor at Karolinska Institutet and Chair of Stockholm Trio for Sustainable Actions.

The projects are funded for two years, starting in January 2025, with a total budget of 1.5 million SEK for 2025/26. This funding provides an opportunity to develop long-term projects and establish networks that promote interdisciplinary collaborations between the three universities.
