Info

The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (Swedish: Stiftelsen för strategisk forskning, SSF) is a Swedish independent research-funding foundation. Its objective is to "support research in natural science, engineering and medicine that strengthens Sweden’s competitiveness". It is located in the World Trade Center in Stockholm, Sweden.
SSF was founded in 1994 by the Swedish government when the employee funds was discontinued under the Bildt Cabinet. The funding of various projects by SSF in 2010 amounted to SEK 550,000,000.
In August 2012 it was revealed by the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter that the foundation had spent large sums of its money on parties rather than research grants. Between 2009 and 2012, a total of SEK 9,300,000 was paid out to the party organizer Micael Bindefeld.
