The Jan Runermark Award was created in memory of Jan Runermark, the initiator and founding father of the Swedish Young Generation Network and promoter of the ENS Young Generation movement. Jan Runermark died in a tragic car accident on 25 July 1995. ENS-YGN honours Jan Runermark annually by handing out this award to a senior professional that have showed through their action benefit for the young generation.

History of the Grant Program
In 2013 ENS-YGN generated for the first time profit from the successful ENYGF2013 in Stockholm, Sweden. A decision was made by the ENS-YGN Core Committee to convert the profit-generated by ENYGF2013 and future profits to a scholarship fund to sponsor young professionals through financial aid or events for young professionals. In 2014, the ENS-YGN grants program was launched officially.
