Mats Sundin Fellowship
KI and the University of Toronto has together with former hockey player Mats Sundin initiated "The Mats Sundin Fellowship in Development Health".
The Mats Sundin Fellowship in Development Health builds on a long and successful collaborative doctoral course between 探花精选 and the University of Toronto dating back to 1996.
Started in 2012
In 2012 Mats Sundin donated 2.2 million SEK to a joint post doctoral programme "The Mats Sundin Fellowship" between 探花精选 and the University of Toronto. Each university added 1 million SEK to the programme, while other generous donors also provided funding. During 2017 Mats Sundin will launch his own foundation which will be nominating and funding the future fellows.
Focus on health of infants and children
The fellowship is designed to provide a scientific exchange and training programme that will develop future scientific and 探花精选 leaders in both countries, with a particular focus on maternal-infant health, neurodevelopment and regenerative medicine. The aim is to support two postdoctoral fellows, in Stockholm and Toronto respectively, with a 2-year bio探花精选 research exchange placement at 探花精选 or the University of Toronto. Each Mats Sundin Fellow will be interacting with scientists, scholars and clinicians from both institutions to pursue research connected to the health of children.
