The Pontus Roos Memorial Foundation
Pontus Roos (January 31, 1953 – December 13, 2010) was a creative and resourceful person, firmly convinced that practical problems in the industrial and service sector were amenable to advanced economic analysis. As a person he was warm, generous, and a true friend. He loved his family and faced the hardships that befell him with humility and a strong will. The Foundation was established to keep the memory of Pontus Roos – economist, friend, and gentleman - alive.
Foundation
The aim of the Foundation is to annually award a stipend to a PhD student or a young researcher in economics at Lund University. He/she should be writing his/her thesis, or be doing research, in applied microeconomics in a manner that helps maintain the memory of Pontus Roos.
In 2023, the stipend is 130 000 SEK.
Decision is taken in June and the stipend will be awarded at the kick off for the PhD students at the start of the Autumn semester.
