Academic Pride is a collaboration among several of Stockholm's higher education institutions and their student unions. This year, the participating schools include Karolinska Institutet, KTH, Stockholm University, Södertörn University, and the Stockholm School of Economics. The aim is to emphasize the importance of LGBTQIA+ issues within these institutions, focusing on research, education, and creating inclusive environments for working and studying.

The Academic Pride network is also hosting a seminar during Stockholm Pride Week on Wednesday, July 31, from 11:00 to 11:45.

Seminar: Academic Pride - Transgender rights, demographics and access to care in Sweden from 1972 until today

How has the situation for transgender people in Sweden evolved, or stayed the same, over the past 50 years? Join us to explore insights from current research and discuss how we can leverage this knowledge to advance transgender rights. More information about the seminar can be found here.
