Short term stipends

Published 2010-02-09


During the period 2000-2006 STINT has granted a total of 502 short term stipends on its programme to provide opportunities for faculty at Swedish universities to spend a maximum of three months at a foreign academic institution, or to invite foreign faculty as visiting researchers or academic teachers at Swedish universities. The programme attracted just above 1000 applications during the period.

STINT has made a survey of the beneficiaries of the STINT programme, the results of the survey are available in a report (in Swedish).

Interesting to note is that most Swedish researchers and academic faculty have chosen to visit an institution in the United States, while most guest researchers have chosen to spend a period at Uppsala University in Sweden. The majority of all visits has created lasting relationships.

A triggered lightning

In the beginning of 2001 a lightning research group at Uppsala started a research program on NOx production from lightning flashes. During one of the international conference gatherings Professor Vernon Cooray had a discussion with Professor Vlad Rakov from University of Florida on the possibility of a joint cooperation. These discussions led to a submission of an application to STINT for funding for an international collaboration between Uppsala University and University of Florida. The application was granted and the collaboration was initiated in 2005.
