Guidance on responsible internationalization
Here you will find information about advisory services at KTH regarding responsible internationalization.
International cooperation in research and higher education is often crucial for excellent research and innovation. In an increasingly uncertain and polarized world, there are geopolitical challenges where openness and cooperation are at risk of being exploited. Openness should be the basis of international cooperation, while there needs to be an awareness of the need to protect national interests, knowledge and technology. KTH is actively working on the co-existence of the core values of openness and international exchange in academia on the one hand, and identification and management of protective measures on the other.
Guidance on responsible internationalization
The Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education, STINT, together with Lund University, Karolinska Institutet and KTH, has produced a document on responsible internationalization. The document is intended to help university management, heads of department, research leaders and researchers to structure the discussion on how the university, institution or research group should approach international cooperation in a responsible way.

Russia and Belarus
The Swedish Government has called on all Swedish higher education institutions to immediately cease co-operation and contacts with all state institutions in Russia and Belarus. No new contacts of any kind should be initiated with such institutions. The Government also emphasises that Russian and Belarusian persons are not automatically equated with state institutions.
More information is available on the government website:

Sanctions against Russia - Regeringen.se
This means, e.g, that researchers at KTH shall not publish with researchers who are affiliated with Russian state universities.
