history

Academic Work was founded in 1998 by three students in a boiler room at the Royal Stockholm University of Technology . Johan Skarborg, Jeremias Andersson and Patrik Mellin wanted to give their fellow students the opportunity to gain work experience while studying and to help them start their professional life.

In the Lindahls confectionery in Norrköping ( Sweden ), the three students decided to raise the necessary start-up capital for a public company . They gave it the name "Amenta", which is based on the Spanish word for "to increase". The company was later renamed Academic Work.
