First, I was a co-author of the successful proposal to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vr.se\/english.html\">Swedish Research Council<\/a> to get funding for the Swedish part of the construction and operations of APEX. Second, when I became director of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oso.chalmers.se\/\">Onsala Space Observatory<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chalmers.se\/en\/researchinfrastructure\/oso\/pages\/default.aspx\">Swedish National Facility for Radio Astronomy<\/a>, I also became in charge of the Swedish involvement in APEX.
