Linnaeus Grants allocated 2006

Immigration and integration, research on education and learning, nanoscience, demographic studies, materials research, stem cells, and climate research are the subjects of some of the research environments now being guaranteed a financial base for the coming ten years.  From more than 100 applications in the first round of Linnaeus Grants, 20 have been culled.  Research environments were nominated by universities and university colleges, and international reviewers decided which environments are to receive support.
