 My name is Anthony Owusu-Ansah. I come from Kumasi, the second largest city in Ghana. I graduated from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana with a BSc degree in Land Economy. Land Economy basically combines Law and Economics to solve environmental problems. I am now studying Real Estate Management at KTH in Stockholm. The real estate industry all over the world is developing rapidly in recent times so as a professional in the field I have to equip myself well to take up the challenge. Sweden is one of the countries with a well developed real estate sector so I strongly believe I would get the needed exposure here. In fact, I am enjoying my studies in Sweden very much and even hope to continue up to the PhD level.

 My name is Wang Daohan. I come from the Canton Province of China and have gained my architectural competence at Tsinghua University during the past five years. My career goal is to become a professional in architectural and urban design to shape the built environment more comfortable for people. Thanks to STINT´s kind offer, I could choose to study the Urban planning and design Programme at KTH, which enables me to enhance my urban planning competence. It is also a very precious chance and experience for me to travel and learn from the excellent cities of Sweden and Europe, which have a characteristic city image, historical architecture, rich cultures and friendly people. Moreover, I enjoy studying and living in Stockholm very much. In two years, I hope I will become an architect and urban planner with abundant professional skills and theoretical knowledge.

 My name is Gerardo Muñoz Reyes and I come from Pachuca, the cradle of football in my country, Mexico. I studied Chemical Engineering at Tecnológico de Monterrey, finishing my degree in December 2006. Before coming to Sweden, I developed a strong interest in sustainable development and on concepts such as zero emissions, renewable energy, biofuels and clean technologies. As Sweden gives a lot of importance to these topics, I am now studying, with the help of the STINT Foundation, my Masters in Innovative and Sustainable Chemical Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg. With the knowledge and the experience acquired through my studies I intend to be a very important part on helping the world moving towards sustainability.

 James Osei Mensah is my name and I come from Kumasi in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. I have studied Agriculture for most of my academic life, read general agricultural with a specialization in Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness at Kwame Nkrumah University of Technology at Kumasi. I am currently at Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg pursuing Management and Economics of Innovation. The choice of this programme is as a result of my background and strong interest in Economics and the desire to be different. But more importantly is my dream to be a lecturer, and consultant (project, management and career) back home in Ghana in the future upon completion of my PhD programme.

 I am Xing Kongjing, from Sanya, called the Asian Hawaii, in Southern China. Before coming to Sweden I studied international relations as well as economics in Peking University. I´m now studying Sustainable Development at Uppsala University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Science. Global change is now threatening the living conditions of humans, thus sustainable development is called for by the global community. As a student with background from international studies and economics I will endeavour to develop and grasp useful tools of managing sustainable development, and therefore contribute to the international cooperation on global challenges as well as environmental governance on both local and national level. Well equipped both theoretically and practically, I plan to return to China to serve the sustainable future of China.

 I am Raymond Asamoah-Barnieh, a Ghanaian. I graduated from the College of Engineering of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana, in 2006 where I advanced my ability to analyze and synthesize from a multi-dimensional perspective. I am currently studying Production Development and Management at Jönköping University, Sweden. From the perspective of my little experience here, Swedes are friendly, the society is calm and just as it is in Ghana people don´t harass others often. The lecturers also seem to be at the forefront of research. From the infrastructural base and the research papers I have analyzed here, I see opportunities to test the hypotheses I formulated when I was in Ghana and new opportunities to theorize, invent and contribute to the advancement of humanity in her mode of thought and approach to solving problems.

 My name is Ricardo Moscoso Romero and I come from Mexico. Since September 2007, I am happily living at Göteborg City and attending Chalmers University as a student of the master program Secure and Dependable Computer Systems. At the moment, I hold a Bachelor´s Degree in Computer Science Engineering from Tecnólogico de Monterrey, ITESM. Before I came to Sweden I was living in Monterrey City, where I finished my bachelor’s studies in May 2006 and worked at the Corporative Office of the Monterrey International Airport until 2007. I have always considered security in computer systems a very interesting topic; as the time goes by, more people relay on a computer as a support tool to perform their daily assignments, from sending an e-mail, making a phone call or accessing their bank account from the internet. Security has become an essential part of today´s information systems, not only in my country, but at global level. That is one of the reasons by which I decided to specialize in such an interesting area. I hope the master degree is only the first step for a brighter future, not only for me but also, for my friends who have undertaken this journey along with me and the STINT Foundation.

 My name is Wang Xiaowen and I come from Shanghai, which is one of the biggest cities in China. I completed my four-year undergraduate study in the College of Life Sciences at Peking University before I came to Sweden. A good mastery of fundamental but extensive knowledge in Chemistry and Biology is what I achieve at Peking University, which now turns to be the essential foundation in my study of Biotechnology at KTH. Biotechnology is revealing its potential. The general vision is that Europe will have made substantial progress towards a bio-based society by 2025. I hope I can learn a lot about both biology and engineering here and devote myself to the development of the bio-based industry. Biotechnology will definitely be a strong tool to make life better and I believe I can be an explorer and promoter in this area.

 I am Yaping Wang, from the Anhui province in China. I majored in Biological Sciences in College of Life Sciences in Peking University. During my four years there I developed a general knowledge of biological science and I also began to do some research. Now I am studying in Uppsala University, in a masters program called Applied Biotechnology. Courses of economy, management, and engineering will be included in this program besides the traditional biological knowledge. I enjoy studying here very much. My aim is that I will be able to make efforts in transforming the achievements of the biological research into concrete products or methods that may benefit people.

 My name is Qiu Zhiling, from Shanghai, China. I graduated from Tsinghua University in Beijing as a bachelor majoring in Automotive Engineering and now continue this field as a master student at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. Automotive industry is of great importance in Sweden, therefore gives me many precious opportunities to learn automotive engineering not only from universities, but from many well-known companies, like Volvo, Saab and Scania as well. I hope I could gain a clear picture of advanced automotive research and industry in Sweden and use it to enhance cooperation between China and Sweden.
