Dare to think differently
A fundamental prerequisite for the development of both society, culture and business is that there are individuals who dare to think differently. By challenging old patterns and find alternative ways forward, their initiative opens new worlds that we never otherwise would have had access to.
Sten K Johnson Foundation honors and supports individuals who with courage and decisiveness dare to try different approaches in order to develop the discipline that the applicant acts within. The Foundation welcomes applications with the aim to give the new and untried a chance to get attention in a wider context.
Dare to collaborate across borders
Current research and development is increasingly permeated by the realization that the intersection between different disciplines have the opportunity to make unique knowledge wins. Such interdisciplinary initiatives are based on deep basic skills, but by working together across borders creates insights, innovations and solutions that would not otherwise have been possible.
Sten K Johnson Foundation encourages collaboration across knowledge borders in order to contribute to the unique knowledge wins for both business and society.
This year’s 54 lucky scholarship recipients!
Here are our lucky scholarship recipients for 2024, 54 in total, who together will receive nearly 8 million SEK! Once again, we had a ceremonial awarding of the scholarships at the School of Economics in Lund. We also heard one scholarship recipient from each of our 7 categories present their projects. So many exciting projects this year again! After the ceremony, there was mingling and food, with entertainment from one of our music scholarship recipients, and as usual, a lot of fun and interesting conversations.
Now we wish everyone a very pleasant and relaxing summer.

Single-cell mechanical fingerprints
Single-cell biomechanical characterization using microscale technologies is a potential route to achieve the selectivity required for circulating tumor cell isolation. Acoustofluidics has strong potential for identification and isolation of cells based on a combination of size, density, and compressibility. It is the overarching aim of this project to extend this
Light, Sound and Ravel: An Experiment in Musical Visualisation
In connection with Ravel’s 150th anniversary in 2025, I want to create an innovative audio and video recording of a collection of his piano works. The aim is to challenge traditional boundaries of classical music and make it more accessible to a wider audience.
Objective and Quantitative Assessment tools for ADHD and ASD
We are developing objective and quantitative assessment tools that measure cerebellar function in combination with a modernised movement assessment test.
