The Axel and Margaret Ax:son Johnson Foundation for Public Benefit is a private foundation with the primary purpose of promoting scientific and scholarly research. The annual Engelsberg Seminar is a Swedish institution with international hallmarks. Since 1999, the foundation has brought together world-leading scholars and thinkers to discuss history, the age we live in and the future. Themes such as the future of religion, media and media power, and the return of geopolitics have generated ideas that have reverberated around the world. For Swedish academics and journalists, the Engelsberg Seminar provides unique opportunities to establish international contacts, while intellectuals from other countries can develop their attachment to and understanding of Sweden.
