International collaboration within doctoral education
KI has established a number of formal collaborative agreements on doctoral education with other universities and research institutions on international level.
The departments at KI have the responsibility for doctoral students and the majority of the collaborations at doctoral level are at departmental level. There are a few exceptions, where collaborative agreements are initiated and supported centrally.

Erasmus+
As a doctoral student you can participate in a or a teacher exchange in a European country.
Currently, only a few of KI:s Erasmus+ agreements allow student exchange on a doctoral level. For information please contact Kelly Grahn, central Erasmus coordinator. However, signing new agreements is an easy process if the participating institutions are interested in supporting an exchange. If you are interested in participating in a doctoral student exchange, the same conditions apply, including the size of the grant, as for student exchange on Bachelor's and Master's level. However, it is possible to combine the Erasmus+ grant with other types of grants, i.e. travel grants.
You can also do a in a European country where the same conditions as for students on Bachelor's and Master's level apply as well. Please note: the doctoral student exchange must be at least three consecutive months long and an interinstitutional agreement must be signed.
For a traineeship no agreement needs to be signed, and the minimum stay is 60 consecutive days. For more information, please email Kelly Grahn.
Eurolife
As a doctoral student, you can participate in a Eurolife exchange and spend a research period at another Eurolife member institution. Eurolife is a network of nine prestigious academic institutions across Europe, that promotes and facilitates collaborative research, joint postgraduate training and education, the exchange of researchers, research and master students and the building of joint research projects within the field of Biomedicine and Medicine.
