International collaboration and exchange must be a regular feature of Swedish academic life, including undergraduate studies, doctoral studies and research. Promoting and supporting internationalization is a long-term undertaking.
Institutional Grants and Institutional Grants for Younger Researchers are programmes that promote long-term collaboration. Within these there is support for research collaborations, the exchange of researchers, doctoral students and students in the latter stages of their studies. These last for a number of years, allowing joint activities to take place and lasting international networks to be formed.STINT believes there is considerable need for international mobility, particularly within the humanities and social sciences. It offers, accordingly, a stipend to enable doctoral students to spend one term abroad. Experience shows that researchers who establish international contacts and a network early in their career develop quicker and are able to compete better.
The foundation gives Swedish university lecturers the possibility to spend one term at an American liberal arts college. In this way Swedish higher education has a greater opportunity of utilizing the experiences and ideas that the scholarship holders acquire in terms of how teaching and learning can be developed.
STINT wishes to contribute to the recruitment of young academics from dynamic, developing countries to Swedish higher education. The foundation offers scholarships to students from eminent universities in Ghana, China, Mexico and South Korea. The universities nominate particularly outstanding students for the programme. This initiative is also to be seen as an attempt to strengthen the connection between the foreign universities and Swedish higher education.
The foundation offers short-term grants which can be applied for at any time. These give Swedish researchers and teaching staff the opportunity to spend short periods abroad. STINT can in the same way help finance short teaching and research trips by foreign researchers and lecturers to Sweden. Source: http://www.stint.se/en/scholarships_and_grants/
