From July 1, The Hamrin Foundation will support the programme Media and Democracy, at Lindholmen Science Park.
Media & Democracy is a national collaboration platform for media innovation and social research. The goal is to strengthen the media’s innovative power, journalism, public discourse, and democracy. Priority areas for the platform are experimental research projects, data and AI-related media development, media and information literacy as well as knowledge dissemination and networking.
Media & Democracy’s starting point is the historical conversion of the media landscape. Digitalization has revolutionized possibilities of producing, publishing, and consuming media content and traditional and publishing-driven media no longer have the same dominant and central role.
“Media & Democracy’s focus is cross-cutting collaboration in research and innovation, which is fully in line with the foundation’s purpose.”
Hanna Ståhl, CEO Hamrin Foundation

Benjamin Hartmann receive research stipend
We are pleased to announce Benjamin Hartmann as a proud recipient of our researcher stipend as personal support for his research activities. Benjamin’s research interest revolves around marketing and consumer culture and examines the borderland between markets, consumption, and society. Different types of media, media consumption, and mediatized social debates are an integral part of this intersection.
“I am so excited and honored to receive this prestigious stipend, this means a lot to me and will greatly contribute to further developing my international research network, be inspired by other research environments and give me the opportunity to develop my research more independently and in the long term, says Benjamin. Back in the day, they funded my doctoral position at the Media Management and Transformation Centre at Jönköping International Business School and without that position, I would be probably having a totally different life. This foundation really cares about research and understands its value in society and is dear to my heart“
