Global outreach
The core values of academic freedom and human rights guide our inclusive and responsible internationalisation.
Our global engagement shapes our work, our community, and our contribution to society. We will reach this goal through a set of enablers that facilitate international partnerships and collaboration.
Advocating visible communication
We are committed to increasing the visibility of our research and our educational outcomes to a global community. We ensure involvement, knowledge and visibility through strategic communication to support global engagement.
We can enable this by
- enhancing academic communication for international collaboration troughout the University
- securing visibility of Malmö University’s global engagement trough a set of different communication channels.
Embracing global inclusive participation and engagement
We are committed to engaging with local and global communities in order to share and gain knowledge. Our alumni are valuable partners for strengthening our contact with the global labour market, as well as enhancing future opportunities for education and research collaborations.
We can enable this by
- developing supporting structures and guidelines to enhance international knowledge alliances promoting integration of education, research and collaboration
- creating collaborative opportunities with international alumni
- bridging internationalisation with our societal engagement.

Southern African – Nordic Centre (SANORD)
SANORD is an international network of higher education and research, committed to advancing strategic, multilateral academic collaboration between institutions in the Nordic and the Southern African regions. The network aims to provide a platform for research, education and collaboration. Within the framework of the network, incoming master's students are offered Brian O’Connell scholarship for studies at the Nordic universities. Research collaboration funds are announced on an annual basis. SANORD organizes a conference every year, every two years in the Nordic region and every two years in Southern Africa.
SANORD was formed in 2007 and has member universities in the following countries:
Nordic countries: Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden
Southern African countries: Botswana, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe
SANORD is coordinated by the secretariat at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa.
SGroup
SGroup is a European university network composed of 34 universities in some 15 European countries. The network was founded in Spain in 1989, and Malmö University joined in 2000. The aim of the network is strengthened internationalization via benchmarking and joint projects.
The projects includes working groups for exchange of ideas and knowledge linked to cooperation with South America and China, the creation of a joint summer school in Shanghai, exchanges on supervision at postgraduate level and the construction of a firmer structure for recurring benchmarking, The SGroup Think Academy.
European Universities Association (EUA)
The European University Association (EUA) represents and supports higher education institutions in about 50 countries, providing a unique forum to network and stay updated regarding the latest trends in higher education and research policies. Members of the EUA are European universities involved in teaching and research, national associations of rectors and other organisations active in higher education and research.
EUA plays an essential role in shaping tomorrow’s European higher education and research landscape thanks to its unique knowledge of the sector and the diversity of its members. The Association’s mandate in the Bologna process, contribution to EU research policy-making and relations with intergovernmental organisations, European institutions and international associations, ensure its capacity to debate issues which are crucial for universities in relation to higher education, research and innovation.
EUA is the result of a merger between the Association of European Universities (CRE) and the Confederation of European Union Rectors' Conferences, which took place in Salamanca, Spain on 31 March 2001.
Scholars at Risk (SAR)
Scholars at Risk (SAR) is an international network of institutions and individuals working to promote academic freedom and to defend the human rights of scholars worldwide. SAR offers direct assistance to academics facing threats to their lives and acts as a matchmaker between scholars and member institutions offering temporary positions to scholars.
The network was founded in 2000 and is based in New York (US) and has over 500 members representing 40 countries.
Since March 2016 there is a Swedish section of Scholars at Risk, SAR-Sweden. The section is coordinated from the University of Gothenburg and has about 20 member institutions.
Long-term collaboration is built through Linnaeus-Palme partnerships. There is mutual benefit in the exchange of the participating partners' specific expertise, both academic and in terms of experience. Linnaeus-Palme, with its exchange program of lecturers and students, boosts the implementation of international and global perspectives both at home and abroad.

Cooperation programmes
We are active in a number of cooperation programmes such as STINT, Erasmus+, Nordplus and Linnaeus-Palme.
STINT – The South Africa-Sweden University Forum (SASUF)
SASUF is a three-year collaboration project between 13 Swedish and 23 South African universities. The overall aim is to strengthen ties between South Africa and Sweden in research, education and innovation, with the UN's sustainability goals in focus.
Erasmus+
Malmö University is taking part in the Erasmus+ programme, the European Union's programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. Within KA103 we are offering international exchange opportunities for all of the University’s students and staff.

- Malmö University's Erasmus Policy Statement (EPS), 2021–2027
Within the wide range of Erasmus+ we have taken part in several Key action 2 projects during the period 2014-2020. Under strategic partnerships we are currently coordinating two successful projects, AGESAM and VASE. Due to its wide range of topics all the faculties are currently involved in projects as a partner.
Nordplus
The Nordplus Programme offers financial support to a variety of educational cooperation between partners in the area of lifelong learning from the eight participating countries and three autonomous regions in the Baltic and Nordic area.
Malmö University is currently part of ten Nordplus projects across the Baltic and Nordic region.
Linnaeus-Palme Partnership Programme
Linnaeus-Palme is an exchange programme funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, Sida. The programme aims to strengthen relationships between project countries as well as increase the quality of education at the participating institutions through funding for mutual teacher and student exchange. Since the start of the Linnaeus-Palme programme in 2000 Malmö University has had over 40 projects in 20 countries.

SI Public Sector Innovation Programme
The international programme aims to strengthen public sector professionals and innovation, as well as contribute to the fulfilment of the sustainable development goals of the 2030 Agenda. Public sector employees and elected representatives from twenty countries take part in training programmes hosted by eight different Swedish universities.
Malmö University's project Co-governance and social innovation for sustainability is part of the Swedish Institute’s programme. State agencies, municipalities and civil society organisations from four countries are participating in the project:
- Europe–Georgia Institute (EGI) in Georgia
- The Child Rights Information Centre Moldova (CRIC) in Moldova
- Education Innovators Kosovo (EIK) in Kosovo
- IMPETUS – Center for Internet, Development and Good Governance in North Macedonia
The project consists of two dialectic tracks. The first track is a thematic series of bi-weekly seminars on co-governance, social innovation, innovative public procurement, transparency, and impact and developmental evaluation. Participating institutions are challenged to contextualise and develop these ideas and then launch initiatives towards the end of the project. In the second track, participants develop a contextual tool-kit for social audits, train local communities in the methodology and in the second half of the project implement social audits. The basic idea of social audits is to give citizens tools to examine people in power and ensure that local decision processes are transparent and non-corrupt. In seminars, the social audits will serve as cases of social innovation and co-governance and put light on existing limitations and obstacles.
