The project is formed as a fast-track and targets refugees who have not been in Sweden for more than five years, currently living in Sweden and have completed or started PhD-education from outside of Sweden. After completing the program, participants shall have a clear picture of how they can proceed within the Swedish academia.

The program consists of three parts that will run in parallel during the project period:

• Training; for example language courses, research funding, publications and open access, academic writing, pedagogical development and training
• Personal and professional development including career guidance
• Academic mentoring program

The project is funded by The Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education (STINT) within the call for ”Grants for Integration and Internationalisation”.
