Partnerships and collaborations

Stockholm University has a broad collaboration with the society. Researchers collaborate with schools, companies, authorities and organizations, are experts in the media and participate in the public debate. Collaboration contributes to developing research and to link people from different areas and with different knowledge.

Collaboration between Stockholm University and the City of Stockholm

The collaboration between the City of Stockholm and Stockholm University is primarily focused on climate and environment and on social sustainability. The goal is to strengthen and systematize the manifold collaborations already in existence in many places, and also to improve the conditions for future collaboration.

The agreement has led to several projects, for example in social sustainability. This is an area where the education in social work collaborates with the Social services to integrate theory and practice at an early stage in the training. This in turn strengthens the connection to working life and improves the work environment in the city’s social institutions.
