Vetenskap och Folkbildning (Swedish: ''Science and Popular Enlightenment'') or The Swedish Skeptics' Association, abbreviated as VoF, is a Swedish skeptics' association. It was founded in 1982 with the purpose to raise the general public's awareness of scientific methods and results. The association publishes the quarterly journal ''Folkvett'' and organises lectures on themes related to science and pseudoscience. Since 1987 the association has annually awarded prizes for "Enlightener of the Year" and "Obscurantist of the Year". ==Activities== In 2010 the association had a membership above 2600.〔(Vetenskap och Folkbildning: Hur det började )〕 The current chairman is Linda Strand Lundberg. Other prominent members are professor of philosophy Sven Ove Hansson (chairman 1982-88), professor of molecular cell biology Dan Larhammar (chairman 1998-2004) and ESA astronaut Christer Fuglesang. VoF is part of an international network of skeptics' associations, the largest of which is the American Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI).〔(International contacts )〕 Founded six years prior to VoF, CSI served as a model for the Swedish organisation.
