Currency udveksling (valutaudveksling) refers to the conversion of one currency into another, typically through banks, exchange offices, or electronic platforms, and is characterized by exchange rates and fees. The practice is central to international trade and travel.

Udveksling in education and culture denotes programs where students or professionals spend time abroad to study, teach, or train, with institutions arranging host placements and credit transfer. Such programs aim to promote cross-cultural understanding, language skills, and professional development.

Information udveksling concerns the transfer of data, knowledge, or communications between individuals or organizations. This can occur through meetings, publications, APIs, or data-sharing agreements, and is often governed by privacy, security, and intellectual property considerations.
