The Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) recently strengthened its academic leadership by welcoming Professors Valentina Tartari and Stefan Haefliger to the House of Innovation. The Professorial Installation Ceremony at Stockholm City Hall, which also celebrated the graduation of eight PhD scholars, highlighted SSE’s commitment to advancing research that bridges academia, industry, and societal impact.

Earlier this year, SSE student Agnes Engelbrektsson Carlson traveled to the United States for an internship at the Swedish Embassy. We asked her how the BSc elective course "Applied History: World Orders and Contemporary Challenges" helped prepare her for the task.

We caught up with Matilda Molander, alumna of the first edition of the course "Applied History: World Orders and Contemporary Challenges", which is offered by the Center for Statecraft and Strategic Communication.

What is it like to be a student at the Center for Statecraft and Strategic Communication? How does the education help students realize their career ambitions? We spoke to Isak Axelson, who has just returned to Sweden from an internship at the United Nations in New York City.

The Center for Statecraft and Strategic Communication recently opened at the Stockholm School of Economics. Read more about our research, events, and career opportunities in the first quarterly newsletter.

Everyone is currently trying to picture what the future will look like after the COVID-19 pandemic has passed, how markets will be shaped, and how products and services will shift to address structural changes in organizations and society at large. However, the future we are facing is uncertain, disproportioned and evolving quickly – we don’t really know, nor can predict, what will happen.

The UK Friends of SSE is a charitable organization based in the UK, which works closely with the Stockholm School of Economics to provide opportunities to engage and support the alumni network in the UK. On August 31, 2020, Anette Elfving Ferm took over as President of the organization, following the leadership of Håkan Gomér.
