Large-scale research infrastructures

In the end of 2009 the Swedish Research Council awarded more than one billion Swedish kronor (SEK) over the next five years to 40 applications on infrastructures. Among these were so-called Large-scale research infrastructures. This extra call for proposals was made possible by an extra pool of funding from the Board of the Swedish Research Council and the Department of Education and Research – to support, among other things, the strategic areas approved by the Government.

This extra call aims to operationalise several of the infrastructures described in the Swedish Research Council´s Guide to Infrastructures. The infrastructures that are awarded grants will be nationally accessible.

The following Large-scale research infrastructures will receive funding (assuming that the Swedish Research Council and the host university agree on the conditions):
Biobanking infrastructure: BBMRI.se
Chemical Biology Consortium Sweden, CBCS
National infrastructure for chemical biology: SNCCB and CBCS
Biodiversity infrastructure: LifeWatch
High-performance computer resources: SNIC/PRACE
Infrastructure for measuring and studying greenhouse gasses: ICOS
Neutron instrumentation: Super-ADAM at Institut Laue-Langevin
Technical platform for DNA sequencing
Bioinformatics Infrastructure for Life Sciences: BILS

Included in the Government´s strategic initiatives


Also included, in addition to those mentioned above, are the MAX IV synchrotron light facility and the Myfab cleanroom network.
