Research stay in Sweden. Kareem Ayyad’s experience

Kareem
Kareem Ayyad, a PhD student and staff member of the Young Researchers Office at Gdańsk University of Technology, completed a research stay at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. In this interview, he talks about his experience, the challenges he faced and his academic development. Would he recommend a similar research stay to other PhD students?

What made you choose Sweden and Chalmers University of Technology for your research stay?

I chose Sweden and Chalmers because the research environment was closely related to my PhD topic, particularly flood risk, stormwater management and urban planning. Before leaving, I hoped to work in an international environment, exchange ideas with other researchers and gain a broader perspective on my own research. Overall, the stay met these expectations and proved to be a very valuable academic experience.

Karolina Górnicka, PhD, Eng., from the Gdańsk University of Technology took part in research on a new family of materials whose magnetic and electronic properties can be controlled by carefully selecting their chemical composition. The findings of the international team of researchers were published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

The article ‘Synergistic Doping and Stabilisation of Magnetically Tunable LnTi₃(Sb,Sn)₄ (Ln: Ce–Gd) Kagome Metals’ was published on 23 July 2026 in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), one of the most highly regarded scientific journals in the fields of chemistry and materials science.

ENHANCE Joint Call for Blended Intensive Programmes 2027 Now Open

BIp2027
ENHANCE is launching its second joint Call for Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs), building on the success of the first alliance-wide call in early 2026. Following that successful premiere, the Alliance is once again coordinating the call across all partner universities, reflecting ENHANCE's shared commitment to making the design and delivery of joint learning opportunities simpler and more effective.

Coordinating the call at alliance level allows academic staff to prepare and run their programmes more smoothly, while giving learners a consistent set of application and mobility frames to rely on throughout the academic year. More simple, more effective.

The call invites academic staff to develop programmes that foster interdisciplinary and challenge-driven learning, contributing to ENHANCE's vision of a European Education Without Barriers and its mission to drive societal transformation through education.
