What is ICG?

Gothenburg School of Economics and Commercial Law cooperates with approximately twenty Universities from all around the world in exchange projects called International Weeks. The purpose of these weeks is to give students the chance to discover a new culture, learn about the business environment in another country and to meet new international friends. All expenses, except for flight tickets, are covered by local sponsors.

The name of this exchange project is International Checkpoint Gothenburg. The project is part of the Student Union, and is now arranged for the 20th year in a row by a committee consisting of eight students, together with the International Programme Office. The committee of ICG 2010 are also responsible for sending Swedish students to International weeks as for hosting and organizing an International week in Gothenburg.

Approximately twenty international students will be invited to participate in a week filled with exciting activities here in Gothenburg, Sweden. They will get the opportunity to discover the environment, companies and culture of Sweden, and to meet a lot of interesting people from all around the world.

During the week our guests will stay with Swedish students from the Gothenburg School of Economics and Commercial Law, who offer their hospitality.
