South Africa – Sweden University Forum
The South Africa-Sweden University Forum (SASUF) is a strategic internationalisation project running
from 2017-2020 with the overall aim of strengthening ties between Sweden and South Africa in
research, education and innovation. SASUF is a collaboration between 37 universities in Sweden & South
Africa together with embassies, civil society organisations, funding agencies & ministries in both
countries.
During 2017-2020 SASUF will:
• bring together researchers from Sweden & South Africa in seminars, exchanges & projects
• create innovative ways to approach internationalisation & utilise the power of digital tools in
international collaboration
• connect researchers with funding agencies, industry, ministries & surrounding society in working
towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
SASUF has a budget of 22 000 000 SEK and is funded by STINT (Swedish Foundation for International
Cooperation in Research and Higher Education), the participating universities, the National Research
Foundation and the Department of Higher Education & Training in South Africa.
The third South Africa–Sweden Research & Innovation Week is postponed until COVID restrictions are
removed. The next SASUF gathering will be SASUF Goes Digital: 2020 Edition from 23-27 Nov. This
platform enables researchers to virtually meet and share research, collaborate, and maintain
international collaboration while addressing the 6 targeted themes within SASUF’s main purview:
• Theme 1: Climate change, natural resources and sustainability.
• Theme 2: Education for a Sustainable Society.
• Theme 3: Social transformation through change: knowledge and social development strategies
for society.
• Theme 4: Understanding the burden of disease in Sweden and South Africa and its impact on
the health systems of the two countries in the future.
• Theme 5: Sustainable urbanisation, travel and tourism in the 21st Century
• Theme 6: Digital technologies, big data and cybersecurity.

SASUF Collaboration projects
To strengthen collaboration between Sweden and South Africa in research, education and innovation
the South Africa Sweden University Forum (SASUF) and the Department of Higher Education & Training
(DHET) in South Africa, as part of its University Capacity Development Programme, has launched two
calls for short-term collaborative projects between researchers in the two countries. Funds are
designated for costs related to internationalisation activities, seminars and conferences.
SASUF supports 70 Collaboration Funding opportunities for researchers to build on or continue a new
project idea that fosters collaboration between South Africa and Sweden.
Applicants must be employees at one of the partner universities of SASUF, and each project must have
participants from at least two South African and two Swedish universities. Projects are required to
connect to one or several of the UN Sustainable Development Goals1. Evaluation was based on:
1. The potential to initiate or further develop collaboration between Sweden and South Africa
2. The potential of the project to strengthen the international prospects of emerging researchers
3. A well-defined plan for sharing the results in the project to other stakeholders
4. The inclusion of non-academic actors like NGO’s and industry in the project activities
The following pages contain a list of each funded project, grouped by Theme. For more information
