Recruitment and Admission 

Great importance is placed on the selection of participants for the Tandem Leadership programme. While a previous commitment to Swedish-Finnish collaboration is not a criterion for selecting participants, you are expected to demonstrate a high commitment to the programme as a whole and recognize the value of Swedish-Finnish collaboration. 

The recruitment process begins in the last quarter of the year with a thorough search process. Participants are recruited through four main channels – partnership organizations, alumni recommendations, active search, and through spontaneous applications that can be sent to the project manager. The search process leads to a long list of top candidates, followed by interviews with selected candidates. Those expressing interest in the programme are then presented to a committee from Hanaholmen and the Swedish-Finnish Cultural Foundation, which makes the final decision on who will be offered a place in the programme. The final composition of participants will be publicly announced, including names, titles, and organisations, during the first quarter of the year.
