  • Kyra Spaan, Department of Environmental Science
    Towards a cleaner future: Mapping environmental emissions from lithium-ion batteries
  • Sayad Doobary-Vobora, Department of Chemistry

The award ceremony will take place on June 12, 2025, at the Royal Palace in central Stockholm.

 

About the fund

The four original founders were the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (KVA), the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA), the Royal Swedish Academy of Agricultural Sciences (KSLA) and the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise (Svenskt Näringsliv, then Sveriges Industriförbund). The purpose was to promote research, technological development and enterprise that would contribute to the sustainable use of natural resources and the maintenance of biodiversity.
