Balticsea 2020

The Foundation has switched its environmental work for the Baltic Sea

Since the Foundation began its work in 2006 through to 2020, the Foundation has funded measures and development projects that actively support a healthier Baltic Sea, as well as research that has broadened or enhanced knowledge of the Baltic Sea and its catchment area. The Foundation has initiated nearly 100 projects and the board has allocated grants of approximately SEK 650 million to projects in the fields of Fishery, Eutrophication, and Information. In 2020, the Foundation began reviewing its environmental work as part of efforts to switch its focus from a research foundation to a prize and research foundation in 2021. The Foundation has accordingly established a prize: The Björn Carlson Baltic Sea Prize. The prize money, initially set at SEK 3 million, will be awarded annually beginning in the spring of 2022.
