During the years 2012-2021, universities and colleges from all over the country were invited to nominate their institution's candidate for the Global Swede Ceremony. The event was co-hosted by the Ministry of foreign affairs and was part of the Swedish Institute's work with alumni and aims to build important long-term relationships with international students in Sweden.
In 2022, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reviewed their awards and decided not to continue with the Global Swede ceremony.
The purpose of the Global Swede ceremony was to draw attention to foreign students and their importance as ambassadors for their country's relations with Sweden, as a potential resource for Swedish industry in their home country and, not least, as ambassadors for Sweden as a destination for higher education.
Universities and colleges from all over the country participated. After the ceremony the Global Swede students were included in SI's alumni network, which today comprises more than 15,000 people from 140 different countries.
