Hej alla!
For those of you starting a new semester or returning to a Swedish university or university college, I wish you a warm welcome (back) and hope that you've gotten off to a good start. Here at SwedenInTouch, we've been keeping ourselves busy improving the functionality of the community and adding new features.

A few days ago 24 talented students from 16 countries participated in a “Global Swede” diploma ceremony at The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Stockholm. Minister of Trade Mrs Ewa Björling and the Director General of the Swedish Institute Annika Rembe awarded students who has excelled within the area of innovation and entrepreneurship during their time in Sweden.
In her speech the minister pointed out the importance of international students. Except from contributing with unique knowledge within their education and research they are an important resource when it comes to the relations between Sweden and the outer world. The Study in Sweden team do agree!
The students are now a part of the growing network Global Swede for ambitious and creative people from all over the world. All with a very special relationship to Sweden.

The application period for international students wanting to study in Sweden in the fall 2011 is closing on Monday, January 17. Hurry up and apply if you have not done it yet as submissions after this date will be considered late. A few courses and programmes may still allow for a late application after January 17. These have an “Add” button in the course search on Studera.nu. But late applications will be processed by universities only if time allows and places have not been filled.
Also, be sure to submit your supporting documentation and/or payment latest January 28. See Studera.nu for the latest information.

After a three hour taxi ride from the airport I finally arrived in Moscow. The huge capital accommodates over 9 million citizens, the same amount of population as in the whole of Sweden. You can image that I felt rather small and overwhelmed.
I went to Moscow together with two colleagues who work with The Visby Program, Swedish Institute’s Baltic Sea Region Exchange Program. We arranged an alumni meeting for Russian international students who returned to Russia after studies or research in Sweden. We held the seminar together with the Swedish embassy in Moscow. Some 50 alumni listened to presentations by the Swedish Radio’s correspondent in Moscow, representatives from the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Moscow and last but not least a Visby Program Alumnus and Phd. Dr researching on Export of Swedish music in the times of Web 2.0. Very interesting!
These alumni meetings are truly valuable – to keep in touch with former international students and scholars, share experiences and thoughts about Sweden and foremost to create the possibility for networking. I can promise you that all of us, alumnus, SI and the embassy, felt inspired when leaving the RGGU Campus where we held the meeting.
