misu.su.seThe International Meteorological Institute in Stockholm (IMI) was initially created in 1955 by a decision of the Swedish Parliament with the objective "to conduct research in meteorology and associated fields and to promote international scientific co-operation within meteorology". This decision was a result of initiatives taken by Professor Carl-Gustaf Rossby, strongly supported by the former Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sweden, Richard Sandler.
Today the institute is an independent institute at the Department of Meteorology, of which IMI is an integral part, at the Faculty of Sciences, Stockholm University.
The most important function of the institute is to provide opportunities for foreign scientists to work in Sweden for varying periods of time in close collaboration with Swedish colleagues.
