Five Scholarships for PhD Students to Attend NRWC 2026
The Hakon Swenson Foundation offers five scholarships of SEK 10,000 each to support PhD
students specializing in retail and wholesale at universities and colleges. The scholarships
enable recipients to attend the Nordic Retail and Wholesale Conference (NRWC) 2026, hosted

main conference will take place on November 5-6 and is preceded by the doctoral colloquium
on November 4.
The scholarship is intended to cover conference fee, travel, accommodation and other costs
related to conference participation. Applications from early-stage PhD students are particularly
welcome, and applicants are encouraged to present at the conference.
