On January 15, the website studenthälsa.se is launched, which was developed in collaboration between Stockholm University, the University and Higher Education Council (UHR) and Linköping University on behalf of the government. At studenthälsa.se, students at colleges and universities, regardless of form of study and university, get tips and advice to feel better. The portal is a supplement to, not a replacement for, the student health services at the country’s universities. In the web portal, Swedish and international students in Sweden can take part in factual texts, events and recorded material.
