Collaboration with other organizations

SIREUS will interact with organizations with similar visions, interests, and activities. One of the organizations is the STARS Network (Swedish Trans-Atlantic Researchers & Scho­lars Network).

STARS's mission is “to connect academics, entrepreneurs, scientists, and students in North America with a heritage or interest in Sweden.”
STARS organize networking events and professional development opportunities with the goal of inspiring more interdisciplinary research collaborati­ons and facilitate scientific exchange betwe­en North America and Sweden. They also host an information hub harboring relocation, funding, and academic advice resources to support STARS members’ professional development.
