FORES
I’ve started my new job as program director for environment at the FORES think tank in Stockholm this week and I’m really excited about the road ahead.
My responsibility will be to coordinate a project portfolio ranging from carbon trading conferences to high quality academic research together with renowned professors in Sweden and beyond.
I will also do research myself and be the editor of a series of policy papers and reports on environmental economic policy. The first material will be published not too far off in the future and I’ll of course upload the material here.
More about FORES:
Forum for Reforms, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability (FORES)
The green and liberal research institute
An independent research foundation dedicated to furthering entrepreneurship and sustainable development through liberal solutions to societal challenges brought on by accelerated globalisation and global warming.
FORES’ main activities is to initiate research projects and public debates that will result in concrete reform proposals in relevant policy areas such as:
- Market solutions to environmental issues
- Harnessing the positive potential of immigration
- The role of civil society in entrepreneurship
- The flexibility of labour markets
- The protection of the civil rights of the individual
- Modernising public services
In so doing FORES relies heavily on a vast network of academics, supported and coordinated by a small core of research managers and communication officers. Papers and books from the Institute are subjected to peer review processes. Researchers and reviewers are drawn from universities and colleges across Sweden, and some abroad. Studies are empirically oriented in order to be as policy relevant as possible.
The Institute makes full use of new media, with its webpage being the focal point for its communication and dissemination of research findings and public debates. FORES strives to be an interactive forum for all those interested in its activities.
To ensure the independence of the Institute it has been constituted as a foundation with a board of directors composed of academics, experienced former politicians, businesspeople and opinion leaders. The founders of FORES are the Swedish Centre Party, the Bertil Ohlin Institute and Studieförbundet Vuxenskolan.

grattis men ta det lugnt med det liberala idearvet. Tänk på att du härstammar från Norrbotten och det ansvar det innebär. Du kan vara vår femtekolonnare.
