Europe
Lund University has many international partners in European countries, within both education and research. University-wide student exchange agreements, university-wide in-depth partner-ships and networks/alliances in which LU is involved create opportunities for long-term collaborations.
Global Dynamic Engagement (GDE) is an approach on which Lund University bases its work to strengthen and further develop its international impact regarding research, education and innovation. Democracy, academic freedom and taking responsibility are the cornerstones of this work.
GDE for Europe
In the roadmap for Europe for 2025, prioritised activities are presented for the university-wide work during the year but does not exclude other issues that may become relevant for prioritisation. This is in accordance with the method used for the platform for strategic work, which Lund University is working to regarding 2025–2027.
- Promoting collaborations within Global Hub Europe through targeted initiatives with partner universities in Lund University’s priority networks, particularly Imperial College London, University of Cambridge, University College London, University of Oxford, University of Copenhagen (LERU), the University of Edinburgh, KU Leuven and University of Amsterdam (LERU and U21) and University of Glasgow (U21).
- Further developing the collaboration framework with Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine.
- Stimulating and encouraging research collaborations with partners in the UK, Switzerland and Ukraine, countries that have recently been associated or are expected to soon become associated to Horizon Europe.
- Strengthening the research dimension within EUGLOH – the European University Alliance for Global Health.
- Influencing the new framework programme FP10, the European Research Area and the European Education Area.
