The Bank of Sweden Tercentenary
Foundation
The Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation supports scientific research
by awarding project grants to individual researchers and research groups.
So far the Foundation has supported Swedish research primarily in the
fields of the humanities and the social sciences to the sum of SEK 4.5
bn. This makes the Foundation the largest financier of research outside
the universities and university colleges in the fields of the humanities
and the social sciences.
The Foundation was established in 1962 through an endowment from the Bank
of Sweden to mark its three-hundredth anniversary in 1968. The first
grants from the Bank of Sweden Donation were awarded three years later.
Since then the Swedish Parliament has given to the Foundation a further
donation to promote research in the humanities. Grants from this
Humanities and Social Sciences Donation were first awarded in 1994. The
Foundation also has three smaller donations for research.
In Swedish the Foundation is called Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.

InfoData
InfoData is a leading supplier of information services online and for
direct marketing, serving the enterprise market and the public sector in Sweden. InfoData
also offers a wide range of other services, including call center
services, EDI clearing house, e-commerce competence, systems integration,
and legal IT. The development and operation of the services and other
activities are supported by legal competence to assure that they comply
to current and possible future jurisdiction.
InfoData operates InfoTorg, Sweden's largest online service, providing
150.000 users and 5.000 customers access to about 25 services and
databases, ranging from official directories like the Swedish population
register SPAR, the Swedish company register, the Swedish real estates register
and the Swedish vehicle register to all leading credit information
services in Sweden
and the large legal online information service Rättsbanken.
With its roots in one of the world's first online services, developed and
owned by government authorities in the early seventies, Rättsbanken today
is a leading commercial legal online service consisting of about 40
databases with statues, regulations, legal cases, parliamentary
information, and more. The databases cover all Swedish fundamental
jurisdiction as well as literature and legal news. Among the databases
are also versions of CELEX, covering EU law in Swedish and English. All
Rättsbanken databases are operated by InfoData, utilizing one of the
worlds most advanced search engines.
InfoTorg is a single sign on electronic market place. This business model
provides access without further identification to a number of services
and databases, regardless of vendors and suppliers, operation and
locality but also presents legal challenges for InfoData, for example as
regards complying to pre-contractual and post-contractual duties.
Much effort has been spent during the years to develop and enhance
General terms and conditions for the services of InfoData. These issues
as well as other issues with possible legal implications for InfoData
demanding proactive considerations are managed by specially designated
in-house and external legal competence, i.e. by involvement in projects. Among
these issues are secure information management, long-term storage of data
containing information on individuals and businesses and intellectual
property rights. InfoData handle a lot of personal data and therefore has
appointed a Personal data representative. Personal protection issues are
of special importance as InfoData is commissioned by the authority for
SPAR (the SPAR Board) to operate, maintain and market the register.

The Law Firm Friends of The Stockholm
Centre for Commercial Law
The Stockholm Centre for Commercial Law was established at the Department
of Law, Stockholm
University, on 21
September 2000 by the decision of the Vice-chancellor, professor Gustaf
Lindencrona. The Centre, whose aims include promotion of scientific
research and doctoral studies in the field of commercial law in the broad
sense, constitutes a part of the Department of Law, being under the
supervision of the Law Faculty Board. The Centre has been modelled on the
Centre for Commercial Law at Queen Mary and Westfield
College, University of London.
The Centre’s by-laws
stipulate the following aims:
Initiating, leading and co-ordinating research projects, as well as
publishing and dissemination of their results, Collecting and processing
of research material, Organising scientific lectures, seminars and
symposia.
The Centre shall try to establish collaboration with educational
institutions and other organisations and public authorities in and
outside Sweden,
which pursue activities lying in the sphere of interests of the Centre.
Various legal problems need to be examined in a broader perspective than
that which is usually employed within the traditional division into the
various branches of law. Modern legal research is also in need of
impulses from and interaction with practical legal activities, as they
are conducted in trade and industry, public administration and the
judicial system. The Centre’s
thus aims to bridge the gap between different branches of law as well as between legal research and practical legal activities.
Research is conducted at the Centre partly by research panels and partly
by individual research efforts within and outside the Centre. Research
results are presented at conferences where scientific papers are read and
discussed in order to be published at a later date. Smaller, informal
seminars constitute an important part of research as well.

The Royal Swedish
Academy of Sciences
OBJECTIVES
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is an independent organisation
whose overall objective is to foster the sciences, particularly
mathematics and the natural sciences. The Academy seeks chiefly:
· to be a forum where researchers can
meet across subject borders
· to offer unique research environments
· to support young researchers
· to reward prominent contributions to
research
· to arrange international scientific
contacts
· to act as a voice of science and
influence research policy priorities
· to stimulate interest in mathematics
and the natural sciences in schools
· to disseminate scientific and
popular-scientific information in various forms
ACTIVITIES
The Academy administers a researcher exchange with academies in other
countries and publishes six scientific journals. Every year the Academy
awards the Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry, the Bank of Sweden
Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, the Crafoord Prize
and a number of other large prizes.
Academy work is very much based upon the Academy's ten classes (see the
menu About the Academy/Members), each representing a scientific subject
field, and at its seven research institutes. Committees, such as the
Environmental Research Committee and the Polar Research Committee work
with issues requiring a broad scientific competence.

For several years the work group supported and participated in research,
e.g. by arranging seminars and by building up a research library. In 1981
the work group was reformed into the Law and Informatics Research
Institute of Stockholm University. Some of the external activity was
taken over by the Swedish Association for Computers and Law (ADBJ), which
was formed at that time.
