For over hundred years Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has given long term support for basic research in Sweden. For recent years, every year, more than two billion Swedish crowns – for building new knowledge for a brighter future.

Everything that happens in our galaxy leaves its mark in the magnetic field of the Milky Way. Wallenberg Academy Fellow Georgia Panopoulou intends to create a map showing the magnetic field in three dimensions. This may provide vital knowledge about our galaxy and open the door to new research topics.
