The Helsingborg Trade Association has for many years supported research and education at Lund University, Campus Helsingborg with both calls for young researchers and funding for research projects. The Helsingborg Trade Association is now announcing a new excellence scholarship to encourage and reward REAL researchers' contributions to scientific publication in trade and logistics.
"We have a strong commitment to Helsingborg's development, and research at Campus Helsingborg is an important part of this to support. A total of approximately SEK 200 thousand will be awarded this year, and the amount may hopefully be even higher in the coming years," says Anders Rosberg, Executive Director of the Helsingborg Trade Association.
"The business community's participation in the development of excellent research is crucial. It helps to ensure that the research is not only theoretically strong but also practically applicable. By involving business and industry in REAL, the university ensures that research results are translated into innovation that benefits society, creates new jobs and strengthens the city's competitiveness," says Christian Orsing, Chairman of the Helsingborg City Council.
For research advances in retail and logistics
Lund University is ranked in the top 10 when it comes to publishing in the world's leading scientific journals in trade and logistics. Publishing research in top-ranked scientific journals ensures high quality through a strict and rigorous review, giving the research greater visibility and impact. It enables academic collaborations, influences policy decisions and strengthens the researcher's credentials. In this way, it contributes to both scientific progress and society at large.
"REAL members who have authored and published articles in one of the selected leading scientific journals will receive a grant. It will be a personal reward that can be used freely by the researcher and will recognise their academic achievements and the hard work that is required. I believe and hope that this scholarship will encourage more researchers to collaborate across their research fields," says Daniel Hellström, Director of REAL.

Already this year, 11 researchers will receive grants for their publications in 2024. The Helsingborg Trade Association invites you to a ceremony where the excellence scholarships will be awarded. In connection with the ceremony, some of the researchers will present their articles. This year, the scholarship ceremony will take place on 5 May at Hetch in Oceanhamnen.
