Research fundingResearch fundingOver the years, SCCL has been successful inobtaining research grants, and many sponsorshave chosen to support its activities. A largedonation in 2005 from the Marianne andMarcus Wallenberg Foundation enabled it toprocure and renovate premises of its own in2007. In addition, the Marianne and MarcusWallenberg Foundation has made furthergrants to ensure the continuation of the SCCL’sgeneral activities for another five years (up toand including 2016). The SCCL’s general activitiesare also funded by the Skandia insurancecompany’s science foundations.In addition, the Ragnar Söderberg Foundationand the Torsten Söderberg Foundation haveallotted research funding for post-doc appointmentsat SCCL. This donation is all the moreimportant because previously the Departmentof Law was in no position to finance post-doctoralresearch. The donation has now made thispossible. The bursaries received correspond to atotal of 15 years’ full-time research. Similarly, in2007 the Stockholm Property Association resolvedin 2007 to endow a research post at SCCL,named after the Association, in memory ofProfessor Anders Victorin. Additional fundinghas been received from LO-Media AB, ProventusAB, TV4 AB and Bonnier ABSCCL has inaugurated a research exchange, theStockholm Centre Oxford Fellowship, with theInstitute of European and Comparative Law atthe University of Oxford, whereby a researcherfrom SCCL can spend a whole year doingresearch at Oxford. The exchange is jointlyfunded by Stockholm University, Advokatvännerna,Stiftelsen Fakultetskurser, MannheimerSwartling Advokatbyrå and Gernandt &Danielsson Advokatbyrå.For special purposes, such as book purchases,printing and meetings, SCCL receives, on application,supplementary grants from the LawFaculty Literature Foundation, the JusticeEdvard Cassel Foundation and the Departmentof Law. In addition, SCCL receives a specialannual grant from a number of interested partiesfor its special arbitration law library. TheTax Law Research Department also receives anannual grant from interested parties.AdvokatvännernaIn 2002 some twenty commercial law firmsformed an organisation to support the SCCL’sactivities. This group, called “SCCL’s Advokatvänner”(SAd) is headed by a committee consistingof three lawyers. Practically all of Sweden’sleading commercial practices are now membersof SAd. They have undertaken to supportSCCL’s activities financially. SAd mainly providesfinancial support to SCCL for projects ofspecial interest to commercial lawyers. Themember law firms participate in seminars andin collaboration with the researchers workingwithin SCCL. Since 2010 SAd has funded acommercial law essay prize – the SCCL Prize– as well as helped to finance the StockholmCentre Oxford Fellowship.45

Research funding“SCCL’s Advokatvänner (SAd) has been formedby a number of Sweden’s foremost commerciallaw firms in order to support SCCL. A strongSCCL contributes to a better recruitment basefor the law practices in the future andincreases the interest for commercial law. Thesupport given also provides opportunities forpractitioners from the member firms to attendinteresting seminars concerning advanced studiesin this field.”Bengt BolinChairman of the SAd Working CommitteeLaw firms affiliated to Advokatvännerna as of 1st March 2013Andersson GustafssonAshurstBaker & McKenzieBird & BirdCederquistDanielsson & EnglundDanowsky & PartnersEvershedsFylgiaGernandt & DanielssonGrönbergGärde WesslauHamiltonHammarskiöld & Co.Hannes SnellmanHellström & PartnersHökerberg & SöderqvistKilpatrick TownsendLindahlLinklatersMannheimer SwartlingNordiaRambergRoschierSandart & PartnersSetterwallsSmittStockholm Arbitration & Litigation Center (SALC)Törngren MagnellWhite & CaseVingeWistrandWestermark AnjouÖberg & Associés67

Mats Isaksson• Former Justice of the Supreme Court Gertrud Lennander• Emeritus Professor Gustaf Lindencrona• Emeritus Professor Sven-Olof Lodin• Professor David B. Wilkins, Harvard Law School, USAVisiting FellowsVisiting Fellows can be appointed by the SpecialCommittee. Visiting Fellowships can be conferredon doctoral candidates, young researchersor others that are found to be interested in andcapable of scholarly activity, for the duration oftheir day-to-day contacts with SCCL.Up to now SCCL has established co-operationwith the following Visiting Fellows:• Professor Howell E. Jackson, Harward Law School, USA• Ass. Professor Eiríkur Jónsson, Háskoli Íslands, Iceland• Professor Rosa M. Lastra, Queen Mary University ofLondon, UK• Professor Lennart Lynge Andersen, CopenhagenBusiness School, Denmark• Professor Rune Sæbø, University of Bergen, Norway• Professor Weixing Shen, Vice-Dean, TsinghuaUniversity, China• Researcher in Law Anna Södersten, European UniversityInstitute, Italy• Ass. Professor Marie Jull Sørensen , Aalborg Universitet,Denmark• Ass. Professor Ivan Sørensen, Copenhagen University,Denmark• Researcher in Law Fabian Walla, Bucerius Law School,GermanyNational co-operationIn 2007 SCCL established co-operation with theDivision for Family Law and the Law of Contracts,Torts and Personal Property at theMinistry of Justice, partly for the purpose ofarranging joint seminars, enabling researchersfrom SCCL to take part as expert advisers inGovernment inquiries and commissions, and toenable researchers from SCCL to represent theMinistry at international talks and conferences.For example, during Sweden’s chairmanship ofthe European Union and as part of this cooperation,SCCL and the Ministry jointlyarranged an international conference on acommon frame of reference for European contractlaw.In 2010, similarly, SCCL inaugurated co-operationwith the Ministry of Finance, the CentralBank of Sweden (the Riksbank), the NationalDebt Office and the Swedish Financial SupervisoryAuthority, partly with purpose to arrangingjoint seminars, including departmentalrepresentatives in reference groups for PhDprojects and enabling researchers at SCCL totake part in or take charge of Governmentinquiries and commissions. This has, amongother things, led to co-operation with ProfessorHowell Jackson, Harvard Law School, in connectionwith his investigation of the regulationof financial institutions and financial marketsin Sweden. In addition, representatives fromthe government participate in SCCL’s ResearchPanel for Financial Market Law. SCCL also cooperateswith national and international centresof law and economics research, such asCEVIA (the Centre for Enterprise Liability) andFOCOFIMA (Forum for Company Law andFinancial Law) at the University of Copenhagen,the Department of Law, University ofSouthern Denmark, and SIFR (the Institute forFinancial Research) at the Stockholm School ofEconomics.European Law InstituteSCCL has also, mainly through the agency of itsCouncil Chairman, Johan Gernandt, advokatand Chairman of the General Council of theCentral Bank of Sweden, been instrumental inhelping set up, in 2011, a European law forumfor co-operation between leading Europeaninstitutions of legal research. The purpose ofsuch a forum, the European Law Institute, is topromote transboundary contacts between academicsand practitioners, above all in the fieldof property law.International co-operationIn recent years SCCL’s main concern has beenwith expanding its international co-operation.For example, SCCL inaugurated in 2011 a cooperationwith the University of Oxford andChrist Church College, which among otherthings has made it possible for Swedish researchersto join the faculty of Oxford Universitythrough the Stockholm Centre Oxford Fellowshipand spend a whole academic year theredoing research. It has also been agreed thatSCCL and the University of Oxford are to1011

arrange an annual international conference oncommercial law.SCCL is currently establishing contacts withleading research institutes in South America,the USA and Germany, with a view tostrengthen its international network and inthis way promoting a greater element of crossborderresearch between different disciplinesand countries.In September 2012 SCCL hosted a symposiumwhere future international projects were discussedand guidelines for future forms of cooperationwere adopted. The co-operation withUniversity of Oxford is managed by The OxfordCommittee, which is composed by representativesof the co-operating parties. Chairman ofthe Committee is Professor Jan Kleineman.”SCCL is one of the top research institutes studying the processof globalization in the corporate legal sector. I have have had thehonor of presenting my work at SCCL on several occasions and havebeen extremely impressed by the world class faculty, graduate students,and leading practitioners who participate in its activities. Mycolleagues and I at the Harvard Law School Program on the LegalProfession look forward to continuing to collaborate with SCCL as weexplore the complex forces reshaping the global market for corporatelegal services, and how these developments will in turn influence economicdevelopment and the rule of law around the world.”David B. WilkinsHarvard Law School, USA1213

Issues addressedrecently have included unjust enrichments,duty of notification and formation of precedents.Issues often come to centre on principles,and a discussion of this kind can also becarried on against the background of a morespecific issue of contract law. The members ofthe Panel are practitioners and academics witha special interest in the development of the lawof contract and obligations.Many topics are of course linked with otherResearch Panels, and accordingly, there is closeco-operation between us where seminar activitiesare concerned.The Research PanelsMost scholarly activity takes place within theResearch Panels on the initiative of their members.The Research Panels are made up ofrepresentatives of the academic community,public and governmental agencies, courts, lawpractices and business undertakings. TheHeads of Panels are ex officio members of theCouncil.The Research Panels have an extensive rangeof seminar activities, that attracts a large numbersof participants, anything up to a hundredeach. It is also common for Panels to co-operateand arrange joint seminars. In some casesthe subject of the seminar is developed into amajor conference, which in turn has resulted inadditions to SCCL’s publication series.Seminar activities have been successful in thesense of triggering widespread discussion inthe subject field concerned, which is of benefitboth to the participants themselves and toresearchers affiliated to SCCL. The researchersthen have an opportunity of presenting theircurrent fields of research, but can also keepabreast of ongoing discussions in the subjectfields concerned. The seminars also give otherparticipants an opportunity of meeting todiscuss topics of importance in their variousprofessional fields.Research Panel for Company and Securities LawHead of Research Panel: Ass.

SCCL’s publication series and librarySCCL’s Publication Series and LibraryIn addition to the arrangement of seminarsand conferences, publication of the researchfindings produced is a vital component ofSCCL’s activities. A project plan for SCCL’spublishing activities was therefore drawn up inassociation with Professor Peter Wahlgren,resulting in a separate series of publications.SCCL also aims to inaugurate internationalco-operation in the publishing field.Large numbers of articles and research reportsare published every year by the researchersaffiliated to SCCL and by lecturers at majorseminars and conferences. SCCL thereforemaintains publications of two kinds, issued inits series, namely its Yearbook and digests ofpapers for specific conferences. The lecturesgiven at Council meetings have, however, beenpublished in Juridisk Tidskrift (JT).LibrarySCCL has on its own premises an extensivelibrary which began with a donation by the lateProfessor Jan Hellner and with the acquisitionof the library of the Institute for Company andSecurities Law, whose activities are being continuedby SCCL. Since then the library has beenaugmented through a variety of large donations,e.g. by Professor Lars Gorton and ProfessorHenrik Edelstam.Since the Stockholm University Scientific Institutefor Arbitration Law became part of SCCL,its specialist library of Swedish and internationalarbitration law has come under SCCL’smanagement.The library also receives ongoing donationsfrom Jure Förlag AB of newly published swedishdoctrine.
