1 Sandrews Stiftelse delade ut 4.3 miljoner Totalt 57 stipendiater hade i år förmånen att mottaga ett stipendie från Anders Sandrews stiftelse. Stipendie beloppen på 50,000 och 65,000 kr delades ut av Dr Tom Hedelius på Musikalska i Stockholm. Den folkkäre underhållaren och låtskrivaren Lasse Berghagen blev hedersstipendiat “för upp-skattad och respekterad konstnärlig gärning”. Ur Berghagens mångskiftande produktion finns diktsamlingen “I mina blommiga sandaler” från 1993. Vid Sandrews död 1957 bildades en stiftelse till hans minne. Den har sedan 1958 delat ut kulturstipendier till ungdomar vid konstnärliga utbildningar i Sverige och utomlands.

Ekstedt and Gastrologik – two restaurants located in Stockholm – and Sjömaga-
trologik uses local flavours and produce which means that the menu is always changing, and Sjömagasinet is “a classic kitchen inspired by the fruits of the sea.” As The Local states, “in total, 13 Swedish restaurants now have 15 Michelin stars between them.” These stars are a testament to the great Swedish culinary experience both at home and abroad.

Karolinska One of Sweden’s Tops, Again Compiled annually by the private academic group Urank, the list of Sweden’s top universities and colleges has recently revealed that the Karolinska Institute has once again been ranked in first place. Following closely behind is the Stockholm School of Economics, followed by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and the Royal Institute of Technology. The terms of placement on the list include “the quality of students accepted into courses, the weight attached to research, and the proportion of research students with an international background,” but does not include “the quality of individual courses [or] the quality of student life and the availability of accommodation.” So, while the list is academically sound and may help prospective students and institutions alike to better their academic tendencies, students should look elsewhere for measurement of the practical side of studentship.
