The Academy signed an informal agreement with The Royal Society of Edinburgh in June 2006 to promote and strengthen co-operation between researchers in Sweden and Scotland and between the two academies.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences shares the concerns of the RSE on future provision of energy and is engaged in an energy enquiry not dissimilar to that recently published by the RSE. The Royal Swedish Academy and the RSE are keen to explore possible future collaboration in this area.

Under this informal agreement, there is no provision for Bilateral, cost-sharing exchanges. However, when available, applications through the Open Programme are welcome.
