ISweden, iRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciences

IRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciences yasungulwa ngo-1739 futhi iyinhlangano ezimele, engekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni, inhloso yayo yonke kuwukuthuthukisa isayensi nokuqinisa ithonya layo emphakathini. I-Academy inomthwalo wemfanelo othize wesayensi yemvelo nezibalo, kodwa umsebenzi wayo ulwela ukwandisa ukusebenzisana phakathi kwezifundo ezahlukene. Imisebenzi yeRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciences igxile kakhulu kulokhu:

• ukuba yizwi lesayensi emphakathini kanye nokuba nomthelela wenqubomgomo yocwaningo (inqubomgomo yesayensi)
• ukuhlinzeka ngesisekelo sesayensi senkulumompikiswano yomphakathi kanye nokuthatha izinqumo (isayensi yenqubomgomo)
• ukuqaphela amagalelo avelele ocwaningweni
• ukuba yindawo yokuhlangana yesayensi, ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwemingcele yezifundo
• ukuhlinzeka ukwesekwa kwabacwaningi abasebasha
• ukuvuselela intshisekelo kwizibalo nesayensi yemvelo esikoleni
• ukusabalalisa ulwazi emphakathini
• ukulamula othintana nabo besayensi bamazwe ngamazwe
• ukugcina amagugu esayensi

I-Academy inamalungu acishe abe ngu-480 aseSweden nakwamanye amazwe ayi-175 akhuthele emakilasini, emakomitini nasemaqenjini asebenzayo. Baqala imibuzo, imibhalo yokubonisana, izingqungquthela namasemina. I-Academy futhi inezikhungo eziningana ezihlinzeka ngezimo zocwaningo eziyingqayizivele kwezomnotho zemvelo, isayensi yezitshalo, umlando wesayensi nezibalo.

Njalo ngonyaka, i-Academy iklomelisa inani lemiklomelo. Eyaziwa kakhulu imiklomelo kaNobel kuPhysics and Chemistry kanye ne-Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. Eminye imiklomelo emikhulu iCrafoord Prize, iSjöberg Prize kanye neRolf Schock Prize.
