Research awards, research honors and major stipendiary support for research

Honors & Awards 2011 I received the Royal Academy of the Humanistic Sciences’ Rettig Prize (Kungliga vitterhetsakademiens Rettigs pris) with the motivation: “for her internationally recognized research in philosophy with a special focus on issues in metaphysics and ontology”.

2019 I was gifted a festschrift for my 50th birthday (Maurinian Truths, T. Hansson- Wahlberg and R. Stenwall, eds., : Thales). The book contained 18 contributions from 20 philosophers.

Major grants: 2017-2019 PI for the multi-person project Metaphysical Explanation (7.715 000 SEK (approximately 640 000 GBP)), financed by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond. Project website here: https://metaphysicalexplanation.wordpress.com/ 2012-2015 PI for the one-person project Complex Wholes (1.240 000 SEK (approximately 103 000 GBP)), financed by The Swedish Research Council. 2009-2012 PI for the one-person project Ontological Justification – From Appearance to Reality (1. 740 000 SEK (approximately 144 500 GBP), financed by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.

* For the projects Ontological Justification and Metaphysical Explanation I submitted identical applications for funding to Riksbankens Jubileumsfond and to The Swedish Research Council. In both cases, both applications were successful and I had to choose which funding agency to go with.

Minor grants: Through the years, I have successfully applied for a number of comparatively speaking minor grants, the larger of which have been for financing the organization of workshops and conferences. Among the bigger minor grants I have received are:

2018 Hultengrens fond för filosofi: 55 500 SEK (approximately 4 700 GBP) to organize a meeting with the Nordic Network in Metaphysics. 2017 The Swedish Research Council Conference Grant: 141 800 SEK (approximately 12 000 GBP) to organize a conference on metaphysical explanation. 2017 Hultengrens fond för filosofi: 23 726 SEK (approximately 2000 GBP) to organize a workshop on transformative experience. 2016 The Swedish Research Council Conference Grant: 95 000 SEK (approximately 8 000 GBP) to organize a conference on Metaphysical Explanation. 2016 Anders Karitz fond: 20 000 SEK (approximately 1 700 GBP) to organize a conference on metaphysical explanation. Anna-Sofia Maurin 690805-0401

2016 Wilhelm och Maria Lundgrens Vetenskapsfond: 30 000 SEK (approximately 2 500 GBP) to organize a conference on metaphysical explanation. 2014 Hultengrens fond för filosofi: 120 000 SEK (approximately 10 000 GBP) to organize a conference on social complexes/social ontology. 2006 The Swedish Research Council Conference Grant: 33 000 SEK (approximately 2 800 GBP) to organize a conference in metametaphysics.

Apart from the above grants, I have applied for and received external as well as ‘internal’—either departmental or faculty-level—funding for longer or shorter research visits from academics not from Gothenburg:

Aug-Dec 2018 research stay for prof. Kelly Trogdon (Virginia Tech), funded by internal departmental funding (funding included paying for a replacement for Trogdon (at Virginia Tech) to do his teaching while he visited Gothenburg, plus travel and accommodation for four months). Oct. 2018, 1-week stay as a guest teacher (teaching a national graduate course on the theme ‘God(s) and Fundamentality’) for ass. prof. Ricki Bliss (Lehigh University). Internal departmental funding (funding covered travel, accommodation and a remuneration for the teaching). May 2017, 2-week research stay for prof. Einar Duenger Bohn (Agder University). Internal departmental funding (funding covered travel and accommodation for two weeks). Jan 2014-June 2014 research stay for prof. Arianna Betti ( University). Funded via the Gothenburg University guest professor scheme (the so-called Marks 2 professorship) (funding covered salary, travel and accommodation). Sep 2013-Jan 2014 research stay for prof. Benjamin Schnieder (Hamburg University). Funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, as part of their Swedish-German program of research awards for scientific cooperation (funding covered salary, travel and accommodation).

Collaborations and networks

Nordic Network in Metaphysics Network first created by myself and Matti Eklund (Uppsala). So far, the network has organized four meetings: in Uppsala, Sep 2015, in Kristiansand (University of Agder), October 2016, in Tampere (University of Tampere), October 2017, and in Gothenburg (University of Gothenburg), November 2018. I co-organized the meeting in Uppsala and organized the meeting in Gothenburg. To learn more about this network, you can visit its website and Facebook-page. Anna-Sofia Maurin 690805-0401

The Metaphysics & Collectivity Group: Research group working in the intersection between metaphysics, mereology, social ontology, philosophy of action and moral philosophy, initiated by myself and a group of researchers then primarily based at Lund University. The group’s research focuses on the nature of collectives and social entities, such as organizations, associations, and informally organized groups. Founded in 2012, the group has organized five workshops and three international conferences (in Lund, October 2013, in Gothenburg, June 2015, and in Lund Aug 30- Sep 1 2017 (the 5th ENSO-conference)).

Past collaborations and networks: Universals Project based in Italy focusing on various aspects—historical as well as contemporary—of the problem of universals. I collaborated in the form of a contribution to one of the project’s volumes (published by CUP, 2015). Editors for this volume are G. Galluzzo and M. J. Loux. Other participators included E. J. Lowe, Robert Garcia, S. C. Gibb, Peter van Inwagen, John Heil, and Fraser McBride. The Metaphysics in Science Group (2002-2007) Research network working on issues in the metaphysics of science with members from several European countries. The group organized a total of six workshops (Lund and Edinburgh, –02; –03; Reading, –04; Ghent, –05, and; Lund, –07). Primarily financed by the British Research Council. This financing stopped in –07, and the project was cancelled only to be “reborn” soon after in the form of a more traditional research project (on the same theme), placed in the UK. Metametaphysics (2005-2009) Informal network of philosophers interested in meta- issues in metaphysics. Members of the network organized four workshops/conferences (Nottingham –06; Lund –06; Turkku –08; Gent –09). I was involved in the organization of the last three workshops (and the main-organizer of the workshop in Lund).

2020 (Oct 5-7), I am responsible for one day of teaching in the Düsseldorf summer school on Inductive Metaphysics: Laws and Explanations in Metaphysics and Science.
