Project Manager Unimeet

Unimeet Gothenburg aims to provide international students and internationally recruited staff the opportunity to discover Gothenburg, gain a positive impression of the city, its educational institutions, and the business sector, as well as to create a clear connection between studies and the labor market.

The project will communicate and promote Gothenburg as an attractive city for international students and internationally recruited staff through collaboration. Additionally, the project will work towards a clear profiling of Gothenburg as a city where there are various opportunities to connect with the business sector during studies and find pathways into the labor market. The project can also be seen as a recruitment tool for prospective international students and doctoral candidates if needed.
