STOCKHOLM SUMMIT 2022

World Academic Forum

JOIN THE MOVEMENT

Thanks to all who participated in the premiere of World Academic Forum Stockholm Summit!

A truly diverse group of academics, artists, and students gathered online and on-site in 27 interdisciplinary and free-of-charge constellations.

No matter where you are in the world we hope you will join us next time! More information to come.

In May 2022, we launched World Academic Forum Stockholm Summit where more than 120 scholars, artists, students, and other interesting people explored timely topics!

Stockholm’s united academia came together for four days to manifest the importance of academia’s role in society. Current research issues were addressed in new and creative ways. Researchers and academics from around the globe were invited to explore solutions for the global challenges of our time and future.

The event was hosted by the City of Stockholm and its 18 independent universities, and was initiated by Stockholms Akademiska Forum, their peak collaborative body and collective voice.
