Dare to think differently
A fundamental prerequisite for the development of both society, culture and business is that there are individuals who dare to think differently. By challenging old patterns and find alternative ways forward, their initiative opens new worlds that we never otherwise would have had access to.
Sten K Johnson Foundation honors and supports individuals who with courage and decisiveness dare to try different approaches in order to develop the discipline that the applicant acts within. The Foundation welcomes applications with the aim to give the new and untried a chance to get attention in a wider context.
Dare to collaborate across borders
Current research and development is increasingly permeated by the realization that the intersection between different disciplines have the opportunity to make unique knowledge wins. Such interdisciplinary initiatives are based on deep basic skills, but by working together across borders creates insights, innovations and solutions that would not otherwise have been possible.
Sten K Johnson Foundation encourages collaboration across knowledge borders in order to contribute to the unique knowledge wins for both business and society.
This year’s 51 lucky scholarship recipients!
Yet another year with a solemn awards ceremony – this year at Studio in Malmö. As always, it was wonderful to meet everyone, and the 51 grant recipients received their grants totalling just over 8 MSEK. Many truly exciting ideas and an incredible range of projects. One recipient from each category got to present their project – as always an equally educational experience. We also heard from a grant recipient from 2019, who spoke about their project and how it has developed since then. During the gathering, we had the pleasure of listening to one of our Music grant recipients, who provided entertainment, and after the ceremony there was networking, food, and very interesting and rewarding conversations.
We now wish everyone a truly wonderful and relaxing summer!
