More than 100 million SEK extra to SGI for three years!

Starting this year, SGI has been alloted an extra Government subsidy of 35 million SEK (approximately 3.2 million euro) a year for three years. According to the directives, the money should be used for mapping the landslide circumstances in the region along the Göta Älv valley as well as for some precautionary and educational measures in order to limit the vulnerability of society as a consequence of the climate change.
