The ACCESS platform (Academic Collaboration Between Chile and Sweden) was born in 2016 to promote joint research collaboration between Chile and Sweden. ACCESS annual academic forums are the main activity within the platform. However, ACCESS has also been awarded funds to carry out joint doctoral courses and managed to create a CONICYT-STINT competitive fund (Chile and Sweden) with financing for academic mobility in the framework of joint projects. The founding universities are Uppsala University, Lund University, Universidad de Chile, and the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. In 2018, the possibility was opened for more universities to join the platform. The incorporated institutions were: Stockholm University, University of Gothenburg, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Södertörn University from Sweden; University of Concepción, University of Magallanes, University of O’Higgins, University of Aysén and University of Santiago de Chile.
