Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) Research that shapes our future Jan Fahleson 1

SSF’s Statutes Support re search within natural science, engineering and medicine. Promote strong research environments of the highest international standard Be of significance for the develop ment of Sweden’s long term competitiveness. 2

SSF: s core • Relevance and expected societal impact • Scientific quality • • Interdisciplinarity Internationalization Mobility between sectors Leadership 3

Modes of Support • Research Environments (ex: IRC, Ph. D schools, Infrastructure) • Groups (ex: Framework Programs) • Individuals (ex: FFL, ID, SM, RIF) 4

Evaluation Process (ex Framework Program) • EC ~10 persons (gender, region, sector, etc) • EC meeting 1 (1 primary, 2 secondary evaluators) ‒ Scope ‒ Strategic relevance (clinical relevance) ‒ Cannot compete in the final stage (or incomplete application) • International Peer Review (3 evaluators per application) • EC meeting 2 • Final Evaluation – statements to all applicants 5
