The Monash-Luleå collaboration started in December 1996 as a teacher exchange program financed by the Swedish Council for the Renewal of University Education between the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Luleå University of Technolology and the ECSE Department, Faculty of Engineering, Monash University. This exchange in teaching involved one academic from Luleå University of Technology coming to Australia for one semester and two academics from Monash going to Luleå in 1997.

The highly successful program led to a successful application in 1999 for funding from the STINT (The Swedish Foundation for International Co-operation in Research and Higher Education) Fellowship Program to develop collaboration in research and teaching. This four-year grant has a value in excess of A$500,000.

Since then strong and reciprocally useful links and breadth of collaboration between the two universities have been developed. The grant enabled development of collaboration in research and teaching in various areas within and beyond the Faculty of Engineering, including the faculties of Arts, Art and Design, Education, Business and Economics, Education, IT and Science.
