STINT Teaching Sabbatical
Nominate for STINT´s Teaching Sabbatical - deadline August 11th 2024!
About the STINT program
STINT’s programme Teaching Sabbatical aims to develop both individuals and institutions. By giving researchers and lecturers at Swedish universities, who are passionate about education, international experiences relevant to their teaching role rather than their research one, STINT wants to contribute to educational renewal and the creation of new networks. Great emphasis is put on the added value of the stay abroad, which is why STINT encourages candidates to search for new international experiences.
Participating lecturers will reside at the foreign institution of higher education during the autumn semester (August to December). The intention is for them to teach, either by giving a course themselves or in partnership with a colleague at the host institution. STINT collaborates with selected universities and colleges based in Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the US. They represent a diversity of institutions committed to high quality education in their respective regions around the world.
The participating lecturers’ experiences will then assist the development of Swedish faculties and universities. There is great emphasis on involving the university leadership and how the universities will use returning lecturers’ experiences in various ways towards positive dissemination impacts. Continued relationships between Swedish and foreign institutions after the sabbatical are encouraged.
