The program covers all areas of research and higher education. Applications can be submitted by faculty at Swedish universities. Please note that doctoral candidates are not eligible to apply.
The program also provides opportunities to invite foreign faculty as visiting researchers or academic teachers at Swedish universities. Foreign faculty at Swedish institutions is an effective way to widen international networks.
The time spent abroad (or engaging foreign faculty in Sweden) can be used for teaching as well as research or a combination of both. Please note that the STINT Foundation will not provide Short Term Stipends to sustain ongoing cooperation.

Stipends are regulated in contracts and calculated as follows:
• For recipients who keep their salary from their home institution, the STINT Foundation will cover travel and subsistence (housing, per diem) or
• For recipients who have no salary the stipend is calculated based on the cost of travel and housing and PPP-based daily fees (purchasing power parity).
