“The foundation that was created for me and my group through long-term research funding and support from the institutions where the research has been carried out, i.e. UiO and OUS, and through the Research Council of Norway, the Regional Health Authorities South-Eastern Norway (Helse Sør-Øst), the Norwegian Cancer Society and – importantly – Stiftelsen Kristian Gerhard Jebsen, has been absolutely crucial to get there we are today”, Olweus says.
