The aim of this event is to strengthen the relation between SEI and Stockholm University by creating a platform from which further collaboration can be developed in research areas where SEI and Stockholm University have common interests.

After the partnering workshop, participants are encouraged to write proposals for seed funds which can be used for any activity that aims to build or reinforce research partnerships between SEI and Stockholm University. We strive to de-emphasize siloed research perspectives by fostering perspectives and approaches crossing academic borders.

• October 14 – Partnering workshop at Stockholm University
• October 28 – Deadline for submitting proposals
• November 11 – Funding decisions
• December 31, 2023 – Deadline for utilizing funds

We are looking forward to increasing our research collaboration between SEI and SU and to meeting you all.
