Beskrivning av samhällsfrågan

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.

Beskrivning av samhällsfrågan

How are societal norms created, challenged, and changed? Alcohol has long been central to social life, yet growing demands for inclusion and wellbeing are reshaping expectations. Can businesses play a role in driving positive cultural change while remaining commercially successful?

Utökad information om evenemanget

While most companies respond to societal shifts, a select few have the courage to drive them. Drawing on more than two decades of experience as a family therapist, Moa Gürbüzer founded Oddbird to challenge one of society’s most deeply rooted norms: alcohol’s central role in social life. In this conversation, she shares insights into how norms are created, how businesses can influence cultural change, and why purpose-driven brands that promote inclusion, wellbeing, and positive behavior may define the next generation of market leaders.

How do changing attitudes toward the United States affect Sweden’s economic development, competitiveness, and international partnerships? This issue examines how public perception influences trade, investment, technology cooperation, and growth in an increasingly uncertain geopolitical environment.

Utökad information om evenemanget

This event examines how changing public perceptions of the United States influence Sweden’s economic development, competitiveness, and international partnerships. As geopolitical uncertainty increases, public opinion can affect trade, investment, technology cooperation, and the willingness of businesses, governments, and institutions to engage across borders. The discussion will explore the relationship between perception and economic reality, and how trust between countries can shape opportunities for growth and innovation. The session will draw on recent research on Swedish attitudes toward the United States, as well as data on the transatlantic economic relationship and emerging areas of cooperation. Particular attention will be given to technology, industrial competitiveness, investment, and innovation policy. Participants will discuss how Sweden and the United States can strengthen collaboration in strategic sectors and translate economic ties into long-term prosperity.
