The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is an independent organisation whose overall
objective is to foster the sciences, particularly mathematics and the natural
sciences. The Academy seeks chiefly:
- to be a forum where researchers can meet across subject
borders
- to offer unique research environments
- to support young researchers
- to reward prominent contributions to research
- to arrange international scientific contacts
- to act as a voice of science and influence research policy priorities
- to stimulate interest in mathematics and the natural sciences in schools
- to disseminate scientific and popular-scientific information
in various forms.
Activities
The Academy administers a researcher exchange with academies in other countries
and publishes six scientific journals. Every year the Academy awards the Nobel
Prizes in Physics and Chemistry, the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences
in Memory of Alfred Nobel, the Crafoord Prize and a number of other large prizes.
Academy work is very much based upon the Academy's ten
classes (see the menu About the Academy/Members), each representing a scientific
subject field, and at its seven research institutes. Committees, such as the
Environmental Research Committee and the Polar Research Committee work with issues
requiring a broad scientific competence.
