As a continuation of the governmental funding of strategic Baltic Sea research, a new interdisciplinary network of young Baltic Sea researchers is forming at Stockholm University. During 2018-2022, the Baltic Sea Fellows, consisting of Post Doctoral researchers, Assistant Professors and Associate Professors at six of Stockholm University's departments will perform cross-disciplinary projects concerning environmental challenges in the Baltic Sea.

Currently, the group consists of eight Stockholm University researchers:

• Elias Broman, Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences
• Fernando Jaramillo, Department of Physical Geography
• Agnes Karlson, Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences
• Inga Koszalka, Department of Meteorology
• Camilla Lienart, Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences
• Francisco Nascimento, Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences
• Christian Stranne, Department of Geological Sciences
• Marlene Ågerstrand, Department of Environmental Science and Analytical Chemistry

In 2018, the interdisciplinary research network Baltic Sea Fellows, was started as a continuation of BEAM, The Baltic Ecosystem Adaptive Management. BEAM (2010-2015), was part of the Government's strategic research areas (SFO). BEAM was a collaboration between ten research units on Baltic ecosystems, contaminants, natural resource management and ecological models for environmental management.
