This Online Talk will focus on Sweden. The event will first have a look on potential national and institutional support available for researchers with refugee background/at risk helping to integrate into the research landscape as well as share an example about successful routes to integration in the science landscape. Moreover, we will reflect on alternative pathways as we will introduce a programme that could help researchers/academics matchmaking with employers outside of academia.
