A newsletter has long been in demand, so I\u2019m hoping we can present items that inspire internationalisation and contribute to new international networks and higher quality in research and higher education.<\/p>\n<p>I recently wrote an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/universitetslararen.se\/2018\/02\/06\/sverige-behover-fler-insatser-for-att-hanga-med-internationellt\/\">op-ed in\u00a0<em>Universitetsl\u00e4raren\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0(in Swedish)<\/a>\u00a0about the Swedish government inquiry into internationalisation. It\u2019s good that the government examines the limitations to internationalisation in the Swedish knowledge system, but it\u2019s also important for higher education institutions to have access to international policy intelligence in order to take bold strategic initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden must address its knowledge system from a broader international perspective, particularly given the changing global landscape, where new rules of play evolve on a level, global playing field.<\/p>\n<p>If Sweden is to stay ahead in research and higher education in the future, it\u2019s essential to attract new talents and nurture those we already have. It\u2019s regrettable that outdated regulations and processes are preventing these talents from growing.<\/p>\n<p>In our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stint.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/STINT2017Tillvaxtanalys.pdf\">latest report\u00a0(in Swedish)<\/a>, STINT\u2019s Programme Director, Dr. Hans Pohl, analyses the growth and quality of academic publications, plus economic development, and investment in R&amp;D. The study shows that most of the fastest growing countries have relatively limited research cooperation with Sweden. It\u2019s paramount that Sweden\u2019s international academic networks should include dynamic countries and that academic cooperation should be cultivated with tomorrow\u2019s leading nations.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, last week, STINT\u2019s Board of Directors decided to launch regionally-orientated calls to encourage academic partnerships of strategic importance for tomorrow\u2019s knowledge system.<\/p>\n<p>This newsletter will also bring news of our spring seminars, the launch of country reports, granted projects and current calls. We\u2019re also seeking a new team member for the exciting post of Programme Manager, covering some of our international programmes.<\/p>\n<p>Andreas Gothenberg, Ph.D.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This newsletter is the first in STINT\u2019s initiative to boost communication and outreach about internationalising higher education and research.
