Do you have an idea that could help shape a circular society?

If you’re a student, you now have the opportunity to influence how we use our resources in the future. We are looking for concrete policy proposals that can help drive a more circular and sustainable society – the winner will receive SEK 25,000.

In recent years, the transition to a circular economy has gained momentum, but progress is still too slow. New ideas are needed – as well as new ways to turn them into practice.

That’s why the Ragnar Sellberg Foundation, together with Ragn-Sells and Linköping University, is inviting students to take part in a competition where you develop a policy proposal that can truly make a difference.

Submit an idea that clearly and concretely describes how it can contribute to a more resource-efficient and circular economy. Three finalists will be selected to present their proposals at Framtidsdagen (Future Day) on October 2, 2026.

The winner will receive SEK 25,000 – and the opportunity to help shape our circular future.

Who can apply? Students from universities in Sweden
Deadline: August 14, 2026
Final: Framtidsdagen (Future Day), October 2, 2026
Prize: SEK 25,000

The initiative is led by the Ragnar Sellberg Foundation and Ragn-Sells in collaboration with Linköping University.
