International exchange and mobility

Stockholm University is an academic environment that works actively to promote increased international collaboration – a prerequisite for high‑quality research and education.

An international university

To strengthen international academic cooperation, Stockholm University collaborates in research and education with partner universities in several countries. The university is part of a number of national and international university networks and also has direct cooperation and partnership agreements with several individual universities, university colleges, and independent research institutions.

Internationalisation for researchers

An increased level of international mobility for researchers benefits both the individual researcher and the university as a whole. Below you will find links related to international collaborations and networks, as well as information regarding relocation to Stockholm University.

Opportunities abroad for doctoral students

Doctoral students can take part in various types of exchanges as either students or staff, which means they can apply for calls targeting either group. These may include teacher mobility, student mobility with traineeships, staff training, and dissertation preparatory activities.
