The Stockholm School of Economics has been conducting educational programs in Russia since 1997. We should stand up for the basic academic values and persevere with its research and science-based teaching. Therefore, teaching in Russia is put on hold as long as Russian aggression continues.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a serious violation of international law and has created a very uncertain geopolitical situation. The human suffering that the war entails will be extensive. It is my great hope that the Russian troops will be withdrawn and that the attacks will end soon.

Through journalism efforts in preparation for, among other things, a podcast to be released shortly, new details have emerged regarding the connections between Jeffrey Epstein and the Female Economist of the Year scholarship.

The blog Ekonomistas was founded by six researchers in economics in 2008. The blog writes about economics and economic policy for researchers who are passionate about factual public debate and economic research. Several of the researchers behind the blog have been affiliated with SSE at some point.

Today SSE introduced its new recycling pilot project featuring the latest AI waste management technology. SSE is making conscious choices to reduce waste and to increase sustainability at the school. The machines from Smart Bins we are trying out will hopefully increase the waste we recycle at SSE and this pilot will be evaluated after six weeks.

Last year, the Stockholm School of Economics and their venture incubator SSE Business Lab launched Ideate, a new entrepreneurship initiative meant to get more students to start companies. Now the program reaches new levels, as the Stockholm School of Economics and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology join forces, making it possible for students from both of these prestigious schools to participate and start businesses together.
