The Southern African-Nordic Centre (SANORD)
The Southern African Nordic Centre is a non-profit, membership organization of institutions of higher education and research, committed to advancing strategic, multilateral academic collaboration between institutions in the two regions, as they seek to address new local and global challenges of innovation and development.
Sanord
The Centre was established as a result of joint endeavour taken by academics from the University of the Western Cape in South-Africa and the University of Bergen in Norway.
The goals of SANORD are
- To bring together the leadership of Nordic and Southern African institutions of higher education and research for discussion, planning and joint endeavours.
- To provide opportunities for academics to meet around issues relevant to the mission.
- To promote and assist with the development of strategic cooperation projects.
- To offer relevant resources and information services, including virtual and physical meeting places, to facilitate and stimulate cooperation.
- To promote cultural exchanges that strengthen academic life.
- To build relevant relationships with the donor community, commerce, industry and the media.
