The roadmaps are based on continuous analysis of the world around us and describe prioritised activities in research, education, and innovation. They guide the university-wide global engagement and lay the foundation for a flexible and adaptable way of working with international issues.
During 2024, GDE has contributed to:
- New partnerships through activities like the GloHub project, where the University, together with the National University of Singapore, University of California, Berkeley and University of Melbourne, explores and tests new collaboration models as part of the ongoing development of GDE. A call for seed funding to promote collaborations with GloHub universities is open until March 31, see the link below.
- New calls for project funding to promote collaborations with UK members of the League of European Research Universities (LERU), as well as with institutions in countries that have recently been associated with or are expected to be associated to Horizon Europe.
- Continued development within the Sweden-Korea Education, Research and Innovation Collaboration (SKERIC) project, which has launched programmes for young researchers, future academic leaders, and research-based start-ups and spin-offs. The first SKERIC week took place in Korea in November.
Roadmaps 2025
During the year, Lund University will further develop work with our Global Hubs – regions where we see potential for deepened and broadened cooperation. The University will promote research, education, and innovation collaborations through international impact actions such as seed funding calls and mobility programmes.
Among other things, the focus will be on:
- Global Hub Singapore, which is part of the GloHub project and where several new collaborations were initiated during the leadership visit in November last year.
- Further development of cooperation with leading institutions in the UK.
- Our prioritised networks LERU, European University Alliance for Global Health (EUGLOH) and Universitas 21 (U21) and collaboration projects like SKERIC, which continue to be important tools for international cooperation. Additionally, cooperation in the Global South is promoted through networks and platforms such as the Southern African-Nordic Centre (SANORD), South Africa Sweden University Forum (SASUF) and Academic Collaboration Chile Sweden (ACCESS).
- Partnerships linked to the Lund Innovation District, which will be promoted, and issues around globally responsible engagement, which continue to be very important.
