What do we really know about life after 60? At the Center for Wellbeing, Welfare and Happiness (CWWH) at the Stockholm School of Economics, we wanted to find out. Together with Swedbank and Sparbankerna, we launched the Wisdom Panel — a new national initiative to better understand ageing, quality of life and the lessons people carry with them into later life.

What if we measured success by how people actually feel – not just by how fast the economy grows? That question forms the foundation of a new joint initiative in which the business sector, academia, Region Stockholm and Stockholm Business Region are coming together to boost wellbeing and make it a more integrated part of the city’s future.

Professor Micael Dahlen was recently interviewed in DN (Dagens Nyheter) about the joint effort between The Center for Wellbeing, Welfare and Happiness and Bhutan. The aim is to make a focus on mindfulness and wellbeing make the country relevant in the 21st century and further the existing focus on wellbeing in the country, while also contributing to economic growth.

Can happiness be a foundation for national development? The Center for Wellbeing, Welfare and Happiness (CWWH) and Bhutan's Royal Institute for Governmental Strategy and Studies are collaborating to explore how wellbeing can drive productivity and prosperity.

In May 2025, the Center for Wellbeing, Welfare and Happiness (CWWH) will host its first-ever Spring Symposium.

We are proud to announce that we are teaming up with Stockholm Business Region, Region Stockholm, the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, Norrsken Foundation, and the Swedish Institute in an initiative to develop our fantastic hometown and capital Stockholm.
