Rune and Kerstin Jonasson
In 2011, KTH Royal Institute of Technology received a donation of 70 million SEK from Rune Jonasson (1925–2019) and Kerstin Jonasson (1923–2017).
It was one of the major donations of private kind in the history of KTH.
The endowment shall primarily be used for research purposes within the field of medical engineering, through the procurement of qualified equipment for medical imaging.
The intention is to create a high technology infrastructure constituting a platform for research collaboration between KTH, Karolinska Institutet and the Karolinska University Hospital, within the field of medical engineering.
Part of the endowment can also be used to recruit cutting-edge expertise in the field. Four million SEK are dedicated to research collaboration with South Korea.
