Join SDCN

Did you move to Stockholm because your partner got a job here? You are not alone!

SDCN is a welcoming community and helpful resource for accompanying partners who want to establish themselves in Stockholm professionally and socially. At SDCN you will get comprehensive career support and connect with others experiencing similar situations.

To register as an SDCN member, your partner’s employer needs to be a partner organization. All the 18 universities in Stockholm are partner organizations of SDCN through their membership in Stockholms Akademiska Forum. If you are interested in joining SDCN but your partner’s employer is not currently a partner organization, please register your interest here.

Please note that if you are interested in participating in SDCN Academy: Unlock Sweden, you also need to fill out the “I want to join” form on the program page after you sign up as an SDCN member.
