Almedalen week has branded itself as “a democratic meeting place for everyone”. Since 1968, the medieval city of Visby on the island of Gotland has played host to some form of political discussion every summer. The festival has grown to become one of the most important places for organizations, businesses and state institutions to network and discuss important issues of the day.

As an institution at the intersection between academia, the business community and society, SSE can contribute with expertise, ideas and innovative thinking. While we are not organizing any events of our own, a few of our co-workers will represent SSE during Almedalen week.
