On Thursday, 15 May, we had the pleasure of gathering for the 4th Annual Alumni Meetup of Swedes who studied in the Czech Republic. The event took place at the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Stockholm, bringing together alumni from various Czech universities, including proud graduates of the Czech Technical University in Prague and its Erasmus+ mobility program participants.

It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, network, and share stories about our experiences in Czechia—from academic achievements and cultural insights to exciting challenges and unforgettable adventures. Guests enjoyed traditional Czech goulash, snacks, and drinks in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

A heartfelt thank you to Madame Ambassador Anita Grmelova for her incredible support and initiative, and to the organizing team managed by Nicole Liptakova Vallmostrand for putting together such a thoughtful and well-run event. A special thank you to Johan Pahlm, Edvin Halling, Lawrence Zawahri, Sebastian Granath, Henrik Sellén Wikström, Filip Danielsson, Lucas Hollsten, Sofie Björk for their active participation and great contributions to the discussions with our representative, Oleg Fetisov, Ph.D., MBA., Head of the International Office.

These moments remind us of the strength of the Czech-Swedish academic connection and the value of maintaining our alumni networks across borders.
