Stockholms Akademiska Forum.

Stockholms Akademiska Forum is a collaboration between all 18 higher education institutions in Stockholm along with the City of Stockholm.

We promote Stockholm as an international academic destination.

Our mission is to ensure that international researchers and students find Stockholm and want to stay here. By doing so, we contribute to a richer Stockholm and Sweden. We do this, among other things, through Stockholm Dual Career Network and Study in Stockholm.

We are a unique organization, bringing together 18 higher education institutions with the City of Stockholm. We are driven by a deep conviction that international talent in academia and across the city strongly contribute to Stockholm’s innovative development.

Stockholm

Stockholm
is a State
of Minds.

Watch the video Stockholm is a State of Minds.

”Mind” can mean, among other things, sense, opinion, brain and intellect — all words that describe the academic heart of Sweden: Stockholm.

Stockholm is a city of integrity, innovation and intelligence. Stockholm is a magnet for ideas and open minds, for students and scholars – it is home to 18 independent universities and university colleges, 100,000 students and a significant part of Sweden’s academic research capacity. Stockholm is characterized by the Swedes’ confidence in knowledge. It is Nobel’s city, where innovations are born and spread across the world – and change it.

Stockholm is an engine for innovative development. Stockholm is a conviction that more thinkers, more interactions, and more ideas benefit the whole society.

Stockholm is a State of Minds.
