Development cooperation

University development cooperation is based on international solidarity and mutual collaboration between academics in the North and the South is actively promoted. In all its aspects, the cooperation must strive for quality and aim to achieve sustainable effects. A maximum degree of synergy and complementarity is sought with other donors and actors. Most of the activities within the framework of the cooperation must take place in the South.

News items with regard to development cooperation will be announced here.

Several funding agencies foresee grants for students of developing countries.

 

Ghent University has been granted by VLIR-UOS to organise activities which actively contribute to the sustainable, people oriented development of the countries of the South. It aims at the development of expertise in both North and South on topics related to developing countries.
