Simon Hjalmarsson's program "Organized Leisure Activities as Arenas for Social Integration" is granted 3,748,000 SEK.

In addition, Jan Helmdag receives 3,510,000 SEK for his research program "The Dualization of Social Rights in Sweden and Beyond: How Social Policy Design Can Maintain or Mitigate Income Inequality".

The grant is awarded to researchers in the early stages of their careers and aims to promote establishment and independence in research.
