Our mission is to support entities in acquiring competitive funding for their excellent projects. This forum comes at a critical time, as universities face unprecedented financial challenges due to recent global events. In preparation for the forum, EUA has launched a crucial survey on university finances. We strongly encourage all our university partners to participate. This survey will: - Help shape the future of higher education finances - Provide valuable data for benchmarking and advocacy - Allow you to reflect on your institution's financial strategy Results will be presented at the 2024 EUA Funding Forum! By attending the forum and analyzing the survey results, we will gain deeper insights into the current funding landscape and the specific challenges our clients face.

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) help host institutions and countries such as Ireland to attract top-tier international researchers. By offering well-funded and structured research opportunities, MSCA-funded training programmes position Ireland as a magnet for research talent, boosting the reputation of the country as a global leader in research excellence and training. Ireland has established itself as a leader in leveraging MSCA funding. In the past decade alone, Ireland has drawn down just under €300 million through the MSCA, making it one of the more successful programmes for Ireland in EU funding.

Last week we were in Africa. This week we will be in Central America. And the next week in North and South America. Not a week goes by without OBREAL activities somewhere in the world. #HigherEducation #InterregionalDialogue #CapacityBuilding #KnowledgeProduction

I attended a workshop on the sustainibility of international relations between South African and Swedish research institutes on 16 May during SASUF. https://lnkd.in/d9z5-vqG Very informative. One issue that was raised is that academics are not reminded of such agreements, networks or fora like SASUF. Universities need to find a way to rectify this. Perhaps have monthly webinars? And how to involve students and postdocs? Here is another network that I just stumbled upon by chance: SAFINET Southern African and Finnish Higher Education Institutions' Network for Health and Well-Being And it is in its last year of the current cycle. So many missed opportunities to network. https://lnkd.in/dBcjuswH #finland #southafrica #university #internationalrelations #collaboration #sdgs #sdg3 #sdg17 #safinet
