Program description
The program is targeted to candidates from countries on the DAC list of ODA Recipients (Official Development Assistance) with the objective of promoting democratic, economic and social development through supporting know-how and transfer of knowledge to researchers and advanced students within areas in which Sweden is at the forefront of academic research.
For applicants from advanced or developed countries the objective of the scholarship is to enhance relations between institutions and individuals in Sweden with their counterparts in other countries.

The program provides PhD students/researchers with an excellent opportunity to conduct research at Swedish universities within all fields of study.
