As of the fall semester of 2023, Stockholm University was the largest university in Sweden in terms of registered students. 37,000 students were registered at the university in the Swedish capital. The University of Gothenburg was the second largest, followed by Uppsala University. 383,000 students were registered at universities and other higher education institutions in Sweden in 2023. Stockholm University is ranked among the world’s top 100 universities. High share of the population with higher education degrees A high number of the Swedish population has a higher education. This goes especially for women, where almost 30 percent has a post-secondary education of three years or more. The share of men with this is just below 20 percent. Long tradition of state financial aid Swedish residents who are studying can apply for student grants, and loans with a low interest rate. Over 200,000 students in Sweden received both subsidies and loans in 2021. Furthermore, students in Sweden do not have to pay tuition fees.

UGU stands for "Evaluation Through Follow-up" and is one of the country's largest research study in the field of education, the country's largest survey of schools. As part of the national evaluation of the school, our study contributes with nationally representative data that can be linked to other databases. Researchers in psychology, economics, political science and pedagogy use our longitudinal data to know more about the Swedish school system and the labour market.

Today, UGU's working group consists of 10 people who work to varying degrees with the management, planning and development of the study. Metadata is available as codebooks on the website and increases the accessibility of data for interested researchers. Metadata increases the searchability and reuse of data in accordance with the FAIR principles.

The data set within the UGU project constitutes a valuable resource for the research community and for the education of students at different levels. Data are available on request for researchers and doctoral students at Swedish and foreign universities and colleges. There are restrictions on delivery to countries outside the EU. Inquiries about the data set are made by contacting the datamanager via email or telephone. Disclosure of data takes place after a formal request by filling in a user agreement. The agreement must be accompanied by a description of the project and a list of desired variables.

The dataset contains reports of phenological observations, made at more than 700 locations throughout Sweden between 1865 and 1951. The observations were mainly conducted by local weather observers, assigned by the Swedish Weather Service (formerly named SMCA, now SMHI), so weather data can also be found for many of these locations, to support to the phenological observations. For weather data, contact SMHI (see www.smhi.se).

The dataset consists of 345 806 posts of phenology observations, in total. The main part of the phenological data consists of observations of budburst, flowering, ripening of fruits and autumn coloured leaves on plants and trees, but also spring and autumn migration of migratory birds, agricultural activities like when spring tillage begins and sowing and harvest begins, and also activities of a few insects.

The dataset was digitized and supplied by the Swedish National Phenology Network (SWE-NPN), a network lead by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), and includes partners from several Swedish universities, governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations. Uppsala University and SMHI has contributed to this dataset, by digitizing the original forms, which they possess. For more information about the Phenology network, see www.swe-npn.se.

The phenological observations were made according to the protocol that was set by the SMCA (see uploaded files of the forms used by the observers, in Swedish). The observations was assessed regularly, on average once a week, or when needed, and the date when a new phenological phase occurred was noted in a form. Digital copies of the original forms are available on request. The dataset contains a file with observations, observation_standalone.csv, which can be used alone, without supporting files. This file contains all necessary information for using the data, e.g. coordinates (lat/long) for the location where the observation were made, species name (scientific), phenological phase and the date. The dataset also contains a file with observations, observation.csv, where the location, officiant, species and phenological phase are coded. To use this file, you need the supporting files included in the dataset, for locations, officiant names, species names and phenological phase descriptions.

Nature's Calendar (www.naturenskalender.se, in Swedish only) is run by the Swedish National Phenology Network (SWE-NPN), a consortium of Swedish universities, governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations. The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) hosts the network and is part of the Climate program within the environmental monitoring and assessment activity branch of the university. The main task for the Nature's calendar is to collect observations of different spring and autumn signs appearing during the vegetation season. SWE-NPN is connected to the monitoring of the Swedish Environmental Objectives, mainly concerning the objective Reduced Climate Impact, but is also collaborating with networks in Europe (through the Pan-European Phenology database - PEP725) and internationally (through the International Society of Biometeorology).

Data about the nature's calendar is collected in two ways, the long-term environmental monitoring through "Calendars", where phenological observations are reported all through the year, and through "Checks", where phenology observations are reported during short-time campaigns, giving a snapshot of the phenological status at a certain time of the year. The long-term environmental monitoring is performed by citizen scientists and professional observers at research stations and like. Three calendars have been launched in the Nature's Calendar; the Plant's Calendar (from 2008), the Bird's Calendar (from 2016) and the Beekeeper's Calendar (between 2015 and 2018).

Aims The aim of the Nature's Calendar is to collect phenological data from the first spring sign to the last autumn sign, to be able to offer nation-wide data to everyone interested, to facilitate research, environmental assessments, the evaluation of environmental goals, etc, to be better prepared to meet the effects of climate change. Observations reported to the Nature's Calendar can be compared to similar observations collected for more than 100 years ago (see the Swedish Historical Phenology Dataset in "Related Reseach Data"), to detect evidence of phenological shifts over time that can be connected to climate change. Data from this dataset is used e.g. for the the evaluation of the Swedish Environmental Objectives, by producing the indicators "Growing season" and "Spring signs" (www.slu.se/vaxternasvaxtsasong).

In the Plant's Calendar, Citizen Scientist's have reported observations of how - budburst and leaf development (broadleaves) - budburst and shoot elongation (conifers) - flowering - ripening of fruits and berries - seed dispersal - autumn colors - leaf shedding develop during the growing season.

The dataset includes one file with observation data (plants_calendar_2008-2024.csv), one file with the species list used by the observers (in total 1252 species, see plants_calendar_specieslist_2008-2024.csv) and one file with the full list of phenological phases and sub-phases that observers can report (in total 38 phases, see plants_calendar_phaselist_2008-2024.csv). Furthermore, three documents are available, one PDF file (metadata_plants_calendar_2008-2024.pdf) with metadata that describes how the above mentioned CSV files are related and how the included parameters should be interpreted, one PDF file (vaxtkalendern_fenologimanual_2021.pdf) which describes the protocol used by those included in the phenology observer programme, i.e. the observations indicated as high quality (in Swedish, only), and one file with the list of nationally protected species according to the Swedish Species Information Centre (lista-nationellt-skyddsklassade-arter-20230612-uppdat-20240425.pdf, in Swedish only). The observation data file includes totally 166 396 observations.

The data collection in the "Nature's Calendar - Plant's Calendar" started in 2008, but some observations made at a few locations at earlier dates have also been registered in the database, so this dataset includes a few records already from 1980 and forward.

Coordinates of a few observation locations have been made diffuse, to make tracing back to the original location impossible (coordinates are rounded to 1.5 decimals = > 6 km diffusion), concerning protected species, as to the rules for publicly handling of nationally protected species (see https://www.artdatabanken.se/var-verksamhet/fynddata/skyddsklassade-arter/).

Data have been compiled from both historical and more recent inventories of the benthic fauna on the Swedish west coast. This catalogue post contains data from four different inventories: - The Jägerskiöld expedition, conducted between the year 1921 and 1938, is the oldest inventory and was generated by L.A. Jägerskiöld. A total of 440 localities were visited, usually between spring and autumn. - The Pandalina survey on the Swedish west coast, 2005-2010. - Morups Bank's inventory, 2005. - Lilla Middelgrund och Fladen's inventory, 2005.

The material was collected in two databases- one for research and one for the general public. The Research Database will be available to researchers in linguistics, Scandinavian languages, etc. The general database is addressed to interested individuals, schools, libraries, etc. Regardless of whether you are a researcher, student, private individual or anything else, the material cannot be used for any other purpose than research and/or education.

The research database consists of recordings of a little more than 1300 speakers representing 107 Swedish dialects. The durations of the recordings vary between 25 minutes and over one hour (typically 30 to 40 minutes). Each recording consist of two major parts. One part consisting of controlled material where specific aspects of Swedish phonology are elicited and one part containing spontaneous speech in the form of informal interviews or dialogues between two speakers of the dialect. The controlled material was elicited by the interviewers using crossword like word games in order to avoid any influence of the interviewers own pronunciation of the target words. The material has three parts 1) A wordlist containing words from which the vowel and consonant systems of the dialect can be derived, 2) a wordlist from which the phonological quantity system may be derived and, 3) a list of phrases from which stress and accent patterns may be derived. Typical durations of the controlled and spontaneous material are 10-15 minutes and 15-25 minutes respectively. Database format: The research database is hosted on a server at the Centre for Languages and Literature at Lund University. The meta data standard used for the database is the one defined by the ISLE Meta Data Initiative (IMDI).- utkast

Purpose: The purpose is to document and study a large number of Swedish dialects as they sound around the turn of the century 2000. The documentation is done through recordings of dialect speakers for a total of 107 locations in Sweden and in the Swedish-speaking areas of Finland and on Åland.

Archiving: The material can be found at the Dialect Archive in Gothenburg (DAG). For more details about DAG, visit: https://www.isof.se/om-oss/kontakt/avdelningen-for-arkiv-och-forskning-i-goteborg.html
