Since the beginning of my Bachelor’s degree, I had planned to spend time abroad during my studies. However, as the Bachelor’s degree course in chemistry is very strictly timetabled with practical courses every semester, I planned to complete a research internship abroad during my Master’s degree. Scandinavia was a country that had interested me for some time and where I could imagine emigrating to in the future.

I spent ten weeks as an intern at the Varieties of Democracy Institute (V-Dem), located at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. V-Dem is internationally renowned for its complex and methodologically robust measurement of democracy, which it achieves by processing large volumes of expert-coded data through its measurement model, resulting in the annually updated V-Dem dataset. The dataset offers fine-grained measures of various aspects of democracy for virtually every country in the world from as far back as 1789. In all this, the V-Dem Institute in Gothenburg serves as the backbone of the wider V-Dem project, made up of numerous affiliated researchers, methods experts, regional coordinators, and country experts all over the world.
