Long-term establishment of national expertise in key strategic areas
Since the turn of the millennium the Foundation’s strategic initiatives have helped to build up an extensive network for the furtherance of expertise in basic science in the scientific community and in Swedish industry, in fields such as life sciences, mathematics, data, materials science and AI and quantum technology.
How do plants heal and survive damages?
Simon Stael, a researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), wants to find out how plants manage to survive damage to help them survive even better in the future. Simon has discovered that special enzymes, known as proteases, are activated and initiate a healing process when the plant signals damage. He believes that this knowledge can also be used to create more selective pesticides.
