SwedenInTouch is the network for international students, scholars and professionals who are in Sweden or have been to Sweden. The aim of the network is to bring together the large group of international students and professionals and help them to stay updated and in touch with Sweden.
The network offers members a personalized membership, the opportunity to find friends and reconnect with old friends or find new ones who share similar experiences from Sweden. Members and partners can use the calendar and networks to find or post information about Sweden, share experiences and stories from Sweden in the various forums or blogs and upload pictures from Sweden.
SwedenInTouch is a part of the official gateway to Sweden and is administered by the Swedish Institute.
Launched on the 30th of September!
SwedenInTouch betaversion went live on September 30, 2008 and the site was officially launched the 30th of September 2009 with almost 6500 members from over 100 countries.
Our first users and members joined us during September of 2008 and the interest among international students in Sweden as well as international students thinking of studying in Sweden has been enormous. We therefore encourage our members to continue to share their experience as students and Scholars in Sweden on SwedenInTouch. We also welcome thoughts and ideas on developing SwedenInTouch through the development forum as well as on the developers’ blog.
