Hansson- Wahlberg and R. Stenwall, eds., Stockholm: 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).
