Welcome to BSU
“Building Stronger Universities in Developing Countries” is a partnership between research and higher education institutions in developing countries and Danish universities.
The long-term goal of the initiative is to make the participating institutions stronger in the sense that they:
- play an increasing role in the economic, social and political development of the societies in which they are located;
- function as nodes of innovation and knowledge production, providing solutions to local/domestic and global challenges;
- produce skilled and motivated graduates that can contribute to the further development of the societies and address the challenges faced.
Go to the BSU four thematic platforms
The Building Stronger Universities initiative is organised around four thematic platforms - each of them disseminating information and results via platform-specific web sites:
- Environment and Climate (BSUEC)
- Growth and Employment (BSUGE)
- Human Health (BSUHH)
- Stability, Democracy and Rights (BSUSDR)
A universe footer is availabe at the bottom of each website informing about BSU general issues and topics.
