Sweden is one of the world’s most innovative and research-intensive nations, and several universities place high in European rankings. Key to the research aspect is collaboration and a global outlook. Karolinska Institutet, one of the world’s leading medical universities, accounts for over 40 per cent of the medical academic research conducted in Sweden. KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology) in Stockholm provides one-third of Sweden’s technical research. Lund University spends two-thirds of its turnover on research and cooperates with 680 partner universities in over 50 countries.
