Wallenberg Clinical Scholars prolongation grants 2023

In 2023, four Wallenberg Clinical Scholars have been granted an extended grant for another five years. In total they have received grants as Wallenberg Clinical Scholars for ten years.

The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation is investing almost SEK 600 million over a ten-year period in the research programme Wallenberg Clinical Scholars. The programme provides funding for 25 of the country’s foremost clinical researchers.

The aim of the programme is to strengthen Swedish clinical research by means of identifying the best clinical researchers, providing them with good conditions to undertake their work, and facilitate the impact of research results in the scientific and healthcare communities.

Wallenberg Clinical Scholars is part of a ten-year initiative undertaken by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation to strengthen medical research and the life sciences.
