The Research Programme Committee

THE RESEARCH PROGRAMME COMMITTEE

In order to ensure that high academic standards are maintained and to avoid unnecessary expenditure of resources on areas that have already been researched or are in process of being researched elsewhere, the Board has set up a Research Programme Committee. The committee is made up of leading Scandinavian professors working within the fields of research prioritised by the Foundation. The Research Programme Committee is always consulted before the Board takes the final decision to award a grant to a research project.
