The Swedish Institute (www.si.se) is funding the Sixth Summer University Course with a number of different intensive two or three-week courses dealing with such topics as The Open Society and Sustainable Development with the focus on the Baltic Sea Region. The target group are the students, teachers and Ph.D students from Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine with the possibility for students from other countries to join the course. This special initiative will run during June, July, August and September 2010 at universities and folk high schools throughout Sweden.

The aim of the Swedish Institute Summer Course is to generate even more interest for cooperation with and studying in Sweden. Individual courses within this programme have different profiles (see the specific course descriptions) but all of them consist of lectures, discussion groups and workshops – where students from different disciplines and countries can discuss and debate the topics covered by the lectures. The Summer Course also offers an excellent opportunity for students and young researchers to acquaint themselves with Sweden and its educational system as well as to find a lot more about cooperation possibilities with Sweden. Participation in the summer course will offer you new knowledge, help you familiarize with Sweden as a country and give you an inspiring network.
