Teaching Sabbatical

The Teaching Sabbatical is a fellowship programme that places Swedish university lecturers and researchers at partner universities abroad for an autumn semester to teach or co-teach. Fellows reside at the host institution and are expected to give a course or co-teach, with emphasis on international experiences that contribute to educational renewal and new networks. The programme collaborates with selected partner universities in countries including Botswana, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, USA and Uzbekistan. Nominations are submitted by the vice-chancellor of the Swedish higher education institution and fellows must take a full leave of absence during their stay abroad.

Placement at a host university for the autumn semester (August–December), teaching/co-teaching responsibilities, an awarded fellowship and potential grants for accompanying partners/dependants (amounts determined by STINT).

Applicants must be Swedish university lecturers or researchers employed by and well established at a Swedish higher education institution, hold a doctorate degree (or equivalent), and take a full leave of absence during the stay abroad; nominations must be submitted by the vice-chancellor of the Swedish HEI.

Nominations are submitted by the vice-chancellor of the applicant's Swedish HEI via STINT’s application system.
