Human Resources Office
The Human Resources Office provides support to departments for recruiting international employees. This may include advice on issues relating to work and residence permits, information about the Swedish pension system, taxes and social security, as well as family-related issues such as advice about schools for accompanying children. Information is also available at www.su.se/relocation.
We regularly invite international staff to information meetings with agencies like the Swedish Migration Board, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, the Swedish Tax Agency and the Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency. The Human Resources Office has contracted a new agreement with ALFA Quality Moving which offers relocation services. We also work with the departments in the development of Universities Research Association contracts for University employees going abroad to work.
Communications Office
The Communications Office serves as an entry point for various external partners who would like to collaborate with Stockholm University. Our mission is to make the University’s knowledge and skills available to the surrounding society, and to care for, develop and initiate collaborations and contacts both nationally and internationally.
We provide support to research and education through guidance and consultation and practical support in relationship-building activities, networking, meeting places and communication. We work with international alumni, strategic partnerships and visits, communications and marketing for an international audience.
Stockholm University Library
The library provides fast, innovative and relevant scientific communication services that contribute to Stockholm University's world-class research and teaching. We contribute to an open, up-to-date national and international infrastructure with digital solutions and services.
We are also actively involved in national and international analyses of and discussions about the role and focus of research libraries in a changing information society. An issue that we are currently focused on is open research and management, storage and research accessibility.
Several of our employees are members of various advisory boards at other publishing houses, universities and libraries. Here we deal with various strategic publishing and library issues, such as e-book models, open access to research and the like. Our head librarian is a member of the board of the publishing house Liber and several of our employees participate in different committees.
