In October Head of the Office for International Cooperation Agnieszka Domańska took part in an event organised by Baltic University Programme (BUP). We joined the initiative this year and the meeting was a perfect opportunity to get acquainted with partners. As a part of the BUP Presidency in Czechia in cooperation with and co-financed by the University of Ostrava the BUP hosted this meeting.

The program of the meeting focused on discussing and sharing experiences of being a part of the BUP, and the universities’ involvement in BUP activities as well as experiences from working in other networks like EHEA (e.g. European Universities Alliances). Also, discussing synergies in the internationalisation strategies of BUP participating universities, opportunities for financing joint activities, as well as concrete activities on how to cooperate, communicate, and promote at various levels.

Since regular communication will be crucial to make this network work successfully, there is a plan to host regular BUP IROs online meetings. These sessions will provide participants with the opportunity to raise relevant topics, discuss areas of concern, and explore ways to further collaborate with each other and within the BUP.

he Baltic University Programme is one of the largest university cooperation's in the world, with more than 110 participating universities in the Baltic Sea Region, cooperating for education and research in Sustainable Development and Democracy.

BUP fosters knowledge and cooperation in the field of sustainable development and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).
