Internationalisation of Swedish Higher Education and Research – A Strategic Agenda (2018)

The Swedish Government established the Inquiry on increased internationalisation of higher education institutions (U2017:02) in March 2017. The Inquiry has been tasked to: 

• propose a new national strategy for the internationalisation of higher education institutions that include both education and research activities, as well as new objectives to be stated in the Higher Education Act; 
• propose how more students can gain an international perspective in their education through better internationalisation at home and through more students and faculty studying or working abroad; and 
• propose measures to increase Sweden’s attractiveness as a study destination and knowledge nation through such means as a review of the system for application and tuition fees
