International academic exchange has long strengthened mutual understanding, research cooperation, and democratic resilience. As geopolitical tensions rise and political priorities shift, what role can educational exchange programs play in sustaining strong transatlantic relationships.

Utökad information om evenemanget

This discussion examines the role of international educational exchange in advancing diplomacy, research collaboration, and democratic engagement between Sweden and the United States. For more than seven decades, Fulbright Sweden has connected students, researchers, educators, and professionals across borders, creating networks that often outlast political administrations and policy cycles. At a time of increasing geopolitical competition, polarization, and pressure on international cooperation, educational exchange programs raise important questions about how societies build trust, develop future leaders, and maintain strong international partnerships. The conversation will explore the long-term impact of academic mobility on innovation, public policy, higher education, and transatlantic relations.
