Here in the city of Stockholm and more specifically at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), the course of Ideation is a part of a movement that extends far beyond the university itself.
Ten years ago, KTH and two other universities, the Stockholm School of Economics (HHS), and the Karolinska Institute (KI), decided to work together to effectively integrate their entrepreneurship, business development and technology commercialization courses for the benefit of faculty, staff, and students on these three campuses. Together they founded what is known as the Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship (SSES).

Generous funding from the Stefan Persson Family Foundation (Stefan Persson is former CEO of H&M and current H&M Chairman), provided the new organization with a stable base from which to grow into an internationally recognized provider of quality programming.
Today, SSES is fully owned by five universities, reflecting the broadest diversity of disciplines possible in its offer of entrepreneurship practice and theory courses. In addition to the original three founding universities, the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design (Konstfack) and Stockholm University (SU) are owners of SSES.
SSES courses have been attended by over 3000 individuals since its start ten years ago. The courses are free, taught in English, and worth up to 7.5 ECTS credits (European system) which are accepted by member institutions (including Erasmus members) towards degree requirements. For more information on SSES, take a look at the website.
