Teaching Sabbatical
STINT’s Teaching Sabbatical programme aims to develop both individuals and institutions. By giving Swedish researchers and university lecturers, who are passionate about education, international experiences relevant to their teaching rather than their research roles, STINT wants to contribute to educational renewal and the creation of new networks. Great emphasis is placed on the added value of the stay abroad, which is why STINT encourages candidates to seek new international experiences.
STINT collaborates with selected universities and colleges based in Botswana, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and the USA. These represent a diversity of institutions committed to quality education in their respective regions of the world. Participating fellows will reside at the host institution during the entire autumn semester (August to December). They should teach, either by giving a course themselves or by co-teaching with a colleague at the host institution.
Nominations to the programme must be submitted by the vice-chancellor of the Swedish higher education institution (HEI); lecturers cannot apply directly to this programme. The experiences of participating lecturers should lead to change and renewal at Swedish departments and HEIs. Great emphasis is therefore placed on the involvement of HEI leaderships. Nominees must hold a doctorate degree (or equivalent), and must be employed by and well established at a Swedish HEI. Fellows must take a full leave of absence during their stay abroad. The exact amounts of the awarded fellowships and any grants for accompanying partners/dependants are determined by STINT.
Swedish higher education institutions wishing to participate in the programme in 2024 must submit their nominations through STINT’s application system no later than 15:00 CEST on 16 September 2024.
