Background and main aim:

Global health challenges are complex and involve a broad spectrum of focus areas, approaches and actors at global, national and local levels. Nordic universities join forces in an effort to further expand our course portfolio, and to benefit from the learning in other Nordic enviroments of higher education. We aim to offer state-of-the art courses that engage students in reflective, critical and active learning processes. With a particular commitment to equity and to partnership models in global health, the Nordic countries aim to build an extensive knowledge network to strengten the already strong profiles within global health education.

Activities:

  • student mobility
  • staff mobility
  • possible development of joint online courses
  • identify new Nordic participants/universities to be included in the network
