Frizzled signalling

Gunnar Schulte at Karolinska Institutet was awarded an Institutional Grant for Younger Researchers in 2008 for the international collaboration project "Frizzled signalling - protein-protein interactions and intracellular scaffolding as a means of signal transduction".


Online games - the rise of creative industries in Asia

With a travel grant from the STINT funded SSAAPS project Patrik Ström and Mirko Ernkvist studied online games in South East Asia. The service industry has become the most important part of GDP in all of the world’s most advanced economies.

 


A triggered lightning

In the beginning of 2001 a lightning research group at Uppsala started a research program on NOx production from lightning flashes. During one of the international conference gatherings Professor Vernon Cooray had a discussion with Professor Vlad Rakov from University of Florida on the possibility of a joint cooperation. These discussions led to a submission of an application to STINT for funding for an international collaboration between Uppsala University and University of Florida. The application was granted and the collaboration was initiated in 2005.
