Peter Hedstr\u00f6m received his PhD in sociology from Harvard and has previously, for instance, been a professor at Stockholm University and the University of Oxford. He is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and The Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities and has previously been a member of the Board at the Swedish Research Council and STINT. He was the founder of the Institute for Analytical Sociology at Link\u00f6ping University and has been CEO of the Institute for Futures Studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I feel very honored by the assignment” says Peter Hedstr\u00f6m. “It is a great responsibility and an exciting challenge to ensure that the extensive funds that the Foundation disposes of are used as wisely as possible. Personally, I hope that the Foundation will primarily focus on strengthening free, researcher-initiated research related to the Baltic Sea Region and Eastern Europe to by that means stimulate research with as much international influence as possible,” he underlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
