Six researchers at Umeå University will receive SEK 38 million in grants from the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation and the Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg Memorial Fund for humanities and social science research with forestry relevance. Almost half of the thirteen projects approved are going to Umeå University, which demonstrates the university’s strength and breadth in this field. “The Swedish forestry issue has largely relied on research in natural sciences and technology, but forestry is really a social and humanistic issue, which is why this call for proposals is both relevant and innovative. And the fact that we have six projects … is a good indication of the breadth of our research in this area,” says Thomas Olofsson, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for research. Louise Eriksson, docent in psychology and researcher in environmental psychology, will receive a grant of six million Swedish kronor to investigate acceptance of climate-adapted forest management.
