| 22/01/2003 Board of Research
establishes CVP
The Board of Research today formally founded the Centre for Violence
Prevention (CVP) as an official Centre of the Karolinska Institutet
(KI).
At the meeting, the planned organisation was presented by the Head
of the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Professor Arne Öhman,
together with Associate professor Martin Grann, the initiator behind
CVP.
The decision sets out that CVP will work with research and development
issues within the field of violence prevention, collaborating with
a network of external entities such as the prison and probation
service, the police and forensic mental health services. The organisation
will be led by the Head of Dept. through a director. Martin Grann
was appointed director of CVP.
By founding CVP, the KI has strengthened its position in research
on violence, an ever-topical and important public health issue.
