Martina Johannesson

I am a scientific coordinator with an interest in autoimmunity and genetics, with ~15 years of experience in coordinating multi-stakeholder, multi-national research collaborations. My work involves grant writing, project management, and strategic coordination.

I support rheumatology research by contributing to grant applications, managing collaborative research projects, and coordinating activities with external partners, funding bodies, and internal teams such as finance, legal, and the Grants Office.

I have contributed to the development of more than 20 EU project proposals — seven of which have been successfully funded — across various programs including FP6, FP7, H2020, Horizon Europe, EIT Health, IHI, ERA-PerMed, THCS, and NordicPerMed. I have also coordinated 10 large-scale research initiatives related to different aspects of rheumatology, including:

• EuraTools (FP6)
• COMBINE (SSF, Vinnova)
• BTCure (IMI)
• RTCure (IHI)
• NORA (NordicPerMed)
• ScandRA (ERA-PerMed)
• PrecisionPrevent (Vinnova Innovation Environment)
• JPAST (EIT Health Innovation)
• DigiPrevent (EIT Health Flagship)
• Framtidens Reumatologi (Vinnova Innovation Environment)
