Equality isn’t a “women’s issue” – it’s an issue for all of society. Gender equality is necessary for economies and communities to thrive – research shows us that. And research can also help us overcome the obstacles still in our way.

Master students in banking and finance can now broaden their perspectives. Stockholm School of Economics has joined forces with the University of St. Gallen to offer a double degree program in banking and finance at the Master level.

A breadth of ideas are represented among the admitted companies, with everything from lending platforms for farmers and innovative water meters which detect leaks and help people save water, to apps intended to help parents improve the sleep of their newborn children, and websites which facilitate cross-border e-commerce.

The Stockholm School of Economics is proud to announce the establishment of a new Chair in Finance, which has been awarded to Professor Bo Becker, one of Sweden’s most renowned researchers in the field. This new professorship supports research opportunities and strengthens Swedish competitiveness.

Catharina Frankander and Viktoria Karsberg have been awarded the Carl Silfvén SSE MBA scholarships for 2020. The scholarships are presented to the next generation of leaders to promote the competitiveness of Swedish-based business in an international market.

Great teachers are remembered, long after graduation. The SSE award for outstanding pedagogical achievements for the 2019 fall term goes to Associate Professor Robert Östling.
