Västra Götaland Region (VGR) is now making two significant investments that will strengthen the development of the Kristineberg Marine Research Station ahead of the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat’s takeover of responsibility on 1 January 2026. These investments provide strong support for the modernisation and expansion of Kristineberg’s operations.
In the budget bill for 2026 (Prop. 2025/26:1), the government proposes several investments that strengthen Swedish polar research.
