The nomination form should be filled out and sent in together with a motivation letter, articles, technical descriptions, and pictorial material. Up to three letters with references and comments from experts may be included. Please attach the material as one PDF-file if possible and send to fonder@ki.se no later than Wednesday April 16, 2025.
