Short term stipends

In order to internationalise Swedish higher education and research, financial support for opening up and developing contacts with foreign partners must be made available to Swedish faculty. To be efficiant, such support shall be given with short notice.

The STINT Foundation Short Term Stipends provide opportunities for faculty at Swedish universities to spend a maximum of three months at a foreign academic institution. The programme covers all areas of research and higher education. Applications can be submitted by faculty at Swedish universities. Please note that doctoral candidates are not eligible to apply.

The programme also provides opportunities to invite foreign faculty as visiting researchers or academic teachers at Swedish universities. Foreign faculty at Swedish institutions is an effective way to widen international networks.

The time spent abroad (or engaging foreign faculty in Sweden) can be used for teaching as well as research or a combination of both. Please note that the STINT Foundation will not provide Short Term Stipends to sustain ongoing cooperation.
