Lund University has long had an extensive collaboration with Australia and New Zealand in research and education and through its membership in the Universitas 21 network. The university has student exchange agreements with many Australian and New Zealand universities, both at university-wide level and at faculty level.

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.

  • Promoting research and innovation collaboration within Horizon Europe with universities in New Zealand
  • Establishing anchor universities
  • Taking measures to increase the recruitment of inbound exchange students, for example by offering shorter periods of mobility and studies combined with work placements, and lobbying for the implementation of mobile passport control
