Reimbursement of funding for internship for doctoral students

The salaries of the doctoral students who have participated in an internship project at a non-academic life science organisation will be reimbursed. Here is information on how you as responsible staff at the department can request funding for this.

Reimbursement of funding for participation in the Internship Program

Doctoral students have the opportunity to apply for an internship project at a company or organization outside KI.
Career Service coordinates the applications and sends them to external partners.

The Committee for Doctoral Education has granted funding for doctoral internships since 2010, so a fixed sum can be reimbursed by KI Career Service to make up for the salary of the doctoral student during the internship.

How to apply for reimbursement

In order to request this fixed sum, responsible personnel at the department (economy / HR responsible) fills out the requisition form. For those doctoral students who do internships, we reimburse the department with a standard amount corresponding to a monthly salary (including LKP and INDI). The size of the standard amount is linked to the KID-amount and is SEK 64,000 / doctoral student in 2026.

The requisition form is sent via e-mail to career-service@ki.se.
