The Swedish Institute (SI) supports 200 universities abroad and can help you get in touch. 200 universities in 35 different countries The students are often young people with a deep interest in Sweden. They study Swedish either as an additional subject to their education or as a main subject within Scandinavian studies. Collaborating with universities offers many benefits, and students can be valuable resources at events, for example as translators, interpreters, or participants.

This presents many opportunities for collaboration when it comes to Sweden promotion. The Swedish Institute (SI) supports 200 universities abroad and can help you get in touch.\n\n\n\n\n200 universities in 35 different countries\n\n\n\nThe students are often young people with a deep interest in Sweden. They study Swedish either as an additional subject to their education or as a main subject within Scandinavian studies. \n\n\n\nCollaborating with universities offers many benefits, and students can be valuable resources at events, for example as translators, interpreters, or participants. They are an important group to stay in touch with. The collaboration can be as simple as an annual Lucia celebration and contact with the local Swedish teacher, or larger projects such as Sweden Days and conferences.\n\n\n\nContact persons at the universities\n\n\n\nAt each university, there is a Swedish teacher who is the SI contact person. The Swedish teachers have broad networks within the university, and many are local teachers. Others are Swedes who are permanently residing in the country, or Swedish lecturers who has taught Swedish around the world for a few years.\n\n\n\nFind contact information to your nearest university at si.se (information in Swedish)\n\n\n\nExamples of collaborations\n\n\n\nMany Swedish embassies and consulates already have well-developed cooperation with the universities in the country. Here are some good examples:\n\n\n\nVienna, Austria\n\n\n\nThe embassy in Vienna has close cooperation with the University of Vienna, where SI in November supports inviting the author and science journalist Karin Bojs both to the university and for participation at the book fair in Vienna, where Swedish students always help in the embassy’s booth.

The new exhibition architecture consists of a family of modules that are versatile, easy to build and put together, simple to store and transport.\n\n\n\n\nThe new exhibition architecture works well as stand-alone modules for presenting only one or two prints, and they work even better when they are combined to create scenographies, spaces and rooms within the exhibition spaces. \n\n\n\nThe design is made as a collaboration by Between the lines Architecture and Studio Rebecca Ahlstedt.\n\n\n\nA stand-alone module.\n\n\n", "date": "24 October 2023", "imageProps": { "src":

This presents many opportunities for collaboration when it comes to Sweden promotion. The Swedish Institute (SI) supports 200 universities abroad and can help you get in touch.\n\n\n\n\n200 universities in 35 different countries\n\n\n\nThe students are often young people with a deep interest in Sweden. They study Swedish either as an additional subject to their education or as a main subject within Scandinavian studies. \n\n\n\nCollaborating with universities offers many benefits, and students can be valuable resources at events, for example as translators, interpreters, or participants. They are an important group to stay in touch with. The collaboration can be as simple as an annual Lucia celebration and contact with the local Swedish teacher, or larger projects such as Sweden Days and conferences.\n\n\n\nContact persons at the universities\n\n\n\nAt each university, there is a Swedish teacher who is the SI contact person. The Swedish teachers have broad networks within the university, and many are local teachers. Others are Swedes who are permanently residing in the country, or Swedish lecturers who has taught Swedish around the world for a few years.\n\n\n\nFind contact information to your nearest university at si.se (information in Swedish)\n\n\n\nExamples of collaborations\n\n\n\nMany Swedish embassies and consulates already have well-developed cooperation with the universities in the country. Here are some good examples:\n\n\n\nVienna, Austria\n\n\n\nThe embassy in Vienna has close cooperation with the University of Vienna, where SI in November supports inviting the author and science journalist Karin Bojs both to the university and for participation at the book fair in Vienna, where Swedish students always help in the embassy’s booth. Every autumn and spring, the embassy invites representatives from all Swedish associations and the Swedish lecturer to a meeting.\n\n\n\nBerlin, Germany\n\n\n\nThe embassy in Berlin has close contact with the 54 universities with Swedish language instruction in the country and co-organizes Swedish teacher conferences with SI. The universities are also offered SI’s toolkit to increase interest in Sweden and the Swedish language at universities and colleges.\n\n\n\nWashington DC, USA\n\n\n\nThe embassy in Washington DC has close cooperation with the Association for Swedish Teachers and Researchers of America (ASTRA) and, together with SI, organizes an ASTRA conference at the House of Sweden every other year. In other years, the conference is held at one of the 25 universities with Swedish language instruction in the USA or one of the 2 in Mexico or 2 in Canada.\n\n\n\nSupport to universities from SI\n\n\n\nThe Swedish Institute supports and collaborates with about 200 universities that offer Swedish studies and Swedish language studies.\n\n\n\nThe Swedish Institute offers support through:\n\n\n\n\nFinancial support for events, guest lectures, and study trips\n\n\n\nRegional conferences in the USA, Germany, France, Poland\n\n\n\nFinancial support for the purchase of teaching materials and literature\n\n\n\nPrograms to visit Sweden for teachers and students from Ukraine, Georgia, and Belarus\n\n\n\nSummer courses for students at Swedish folk high schools\n\n\n\nSwedish lecturers\n\n\n\n\nMore information on Swedish around the world\n\n\n\nIf you want to know more about Swedish studies, SI’s support to universities, or get more examples on collaborations, please contact the Swedish studies team at sveu@si.se\n\n\n\n \n Related content\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Have you heard these Swedish words? 1.0\n \n \n \n \n \n Have you heard these Swedish words? 2.0\n \n \n \n \n \n Swedish proverbs\n \n \n \n \n \n Sverige A-Ö slideshow\n \n \n \n \n \n Sweden – a country less ordinary\n \n \n \n \n \n Sweden – folder for school children\n \n \n \n\n\n", "date": "15 October 2024", "imageProps": { "src": "https://cms.sharingsweden.se/app/uploads/2024/10/SvenskaSpraket_-Melker-Dahlstrand.jpg", "alt": "People reading Swedish books, one in a yellow dress and the other in blue shorts and a striped t-shirt.", "height": 1000, "width": 1500, "title": "Swedish teachers at conference", "caption": "Photo: Melker Dahlstrand" }, "href": "/swedish-studies-a-resource-for-sweden-promotion/" }, { "title": "New promotional material for Study in Sweden", "content": "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUniversity Admissions has now opened applications for international students who want to study in Sweden starting in autumn 2025.
