About ACCESS

The Academic Collaboration Chile Sweden (ACCESS) platform aims to facilitate and deepen the academic relations between Chile and Sweden, as well as to enable researchers, staff and students to become more connected to each other.

ACCESS was created on the foundation of the strong historical links between Chile and Sweden. Despite the distance, the countries are well connected, and both recognize the paramount importance of facing the global challenges with knowledge and research. With 5 years of successful efforts in connecting scholars and stakeholders from both Chile and Sweden, ACCESS took the next step launching ACCESS 2.0 during the period 2021-2024.

ACCESS 2.0 will offer yearly forums starting with ACCESS forum Reconnecting for a Sustainable Future that was held in Punta Arenas in 2022. The next Forum will be held in June 2024 in Stockholm, Sweden. Furthermore, ACCESS 2.0 will in collaboration with STINT (The Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education) offer funding possibilities for the development of joint courses for PhD:s and Postdocs through yearly calls for proposals.
