In the same month, we hosted a symposium with DSTMIS focused on financing primary health care in low- and middle-income countries. 🌎 Thank you to everyone who joined us and made these events possible.

🌡️ EVENT: “SUN IS SHINING. Climate Research, Art and Human Adaptation” 🌍 📅 When: Research Presentation: January 9th at 17:00 (The whole exhibition takes place January 9th–12th, 2025) 📍 Where: Ernst Kapersvej 1, 2450 SV Udstillingstedet Sydhavn Station No registration required.   Heatwaves, often called "silent killers," have reached unprecedented levels, highlighting the urgent need for action. Extreme heat has significant physical, mental, and economic impacts. Research indicates that if global warming is not addressed, the average global income could decrease by 23% by 2100. Despite these risks, current policies lack urgency due to the absence of effective communication frameworks.   The Copenhagen Center for Disaster Research (COPE) invites you to join the “Sun is Shining” event that bridges climate research and artistic expression on the 9th of January 2025. It will feature research presentations, posters, artistic performances, and visual art installations by renowned artists. The event will engage the public in climate change discussions, using the cross-over between research and art to provide new perspectives on complex climate issues.   On January 9th, 2025, join us at Udstillingstedet Sydhavn Station (https://lnkd.in/d7mKPcV5)   Featuring:   🔎 Research presentations by: John Rand, Nick Baumgart, and Maryam Nastar.   🎨 Exhibition with works by: Nanna Gro Henningsen, Hesselholdt & Mejlvang, Skye Jin, Signe Kleis, Anne Langgaard, Madeleine Kate McGowan, and SUPERFLEX.   Funded by the Dronning Marys Center – Københavns Universitet (https://lnkd.in/drTzWuJe)   Copenhagen Center for Disaster Research (COPE) John Rand Nick Baumgart Beatriz Martinez Romera Emmanuel Raju Maryam Nastar

🟢 In Somaliland, the main part of the higher education system consists of four public universities and more than 20 private universities. University of Hargeisa (UoH) - established in 1999 - is the biggest with more than 7,000 registered students. 🟢 Currently, Danida and the Danida Fellowship Centre is supporting the “Building Stronger Universities (BSU Phase IV (2023-2027)) programme in a partnership between UoH and Danish universities with a view to strengthen collaborative efforts in developing local institutional and research capacity. 🟢 Today, representing Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen (UCPH) I had the privilege of continuing the nice collaboration with UoH colleagues in yet another activity, namely the co-creation of a new UoH course on 👉 “Research Management and Leadership”. 🟢 Over three days we will engage in an active, creative process of content development for a management course that eventually is to be delivered by UoH administrative, research and educational staff to UoH PhD-students and early career researchers. 🟢 We will combine our ideas for joint outputs leading to contextual, sustainable learning activities for Somaliland researchers in spe. 🟢 I am looking forward to the next step early next year on “training-of-research management trainers” – the UoH staff who will ultimately take full charge of course implementation for the next generations of UoH researchers and graduates.
