Daniel Fällman receives ‘Individual Grants for Future Research Leaders’ by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research

Interactive Institute Umeå’s studio director Daniel Fällman has been awarded with ‘Individual Grants for Future Research Leaders’ by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF). The award is for 10.000.000 SEK (€1.000.000) and is to be used over five years. The aim of the program is to support and promote young scientists who have the potential and the ambition to become future leaders of academic and/or industrial research in Sweden. Competition is very stiff, only 18 scientists from technology, medicine, and the natural sciences received the grant this year, and the grant itself is only awarded every three years.
