Branschföreningen Promise - Promise Award (Promisepriset)

Promise Award (Promisepriset)

You receive a one-time prize of 10,000 SEK (about 900 EUR) for the best thesis or essay on adult workplace learning supported by digital media. The prize is awarded by Promise, a Swedish trade association for companies that work on skills development and digital learning. This is not a monthly grant. It rewards a piece of coursework you have already finished and had graded. Winners are announced in the second half of autumn.

Who can apply

• Level: You submitted a thesis or essay during the past academic year as a student at a Swedish university, university college or YH programme (yrkeshögskola, a vocational higher-education course).
• Grade: Your work was graded at least a pass (godkänd) before you enter it.
• Topic: Your work deals, from any angle, with skills development and learning for adults in working life supported by digital media.
• Field of study: Any subject is fine, as long as the content fits the topic. Winners often come from human resources, informatics, information systems, pedagogy or cognitive science.
• Who enters it: You can enter your own work, or a teacher, supervisor or examiner can nominate it. Either way, you need a short written reason from a supervisor or examiner.

How to apply

You send your entry by email, attaching the thesis or essay as a PDF plus the short nomination reason. The deadline for the 2026 award is 14 July 2026. A first round shortlists three works, and the Promise board then picks the winner based on relevance to the field.
