The president of the Stockholm School of Economics, Lars Strannegård, who appointed the scholars, acknowledges that:

Anja Tuneld and Athina Swahnhave created a challenging, hands-on project, with a strong focus on personal development. The decision to address oral participation in the classroom by female students is relevant to today’s society and opens a doorway to insights that are valuable for the Stockholm School of Economics. 

The Gun and Einar Larsson Scholarship offers outstanding students at Stockholm School of Economics the opportunity to create and realize innovative projects abroad according to their own design. The aim of the scholarship is to offer experience and personal development outside of the academic realm that benefits the student’s education and professional aspirations.
