Pro Lingua

Your native language is the essential instrument for a scholar in the humanities and social sciences. At the same time it is essential that scholars can be present in international fora and take part in the international discourse in their field.

The STINT Foundation and Riksbankens Jubileumsfond are supporting this through their jointly funded Pro Lingua Prize. Annually, two monographs are nominated and selected for translation from Swedish into one of the major languages. The Pro Lingua Prize covers the cost of translation while the author has to find a suitable publisher. Monographs by senior scholars as well as doctoral dissertations are eligible for support.

In 2008 the translation prize was awarded to:

Hans Hayden, Professor at the Department of Art History, Stockholm University

Mats Rosengren; researcher in Philosophy at Södertörn University College, and lecturer and researcher at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts, University of Gothenburg.

The Pro Lingua expert panel:

Dr Göran Blomqvist, Executive Director, Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, Chair
Professor Beata Agrell, Department of Literature, History of Ideas, and Religion, Göteborg University
Professor Danuta Fjellestad, Dept of English, Uppsala University
Professor Mattias Gardell, History of Religions, Uppsala University
Professor Anne-Marie Leander Touati, Antikens kultur och samhällsliv, Stockholm University
Professor Kim Salomon, Dept of History, Lund University
Professor Björn Wittrock, The Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study, SCAS, Uppsala University

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.
