Strategic Partnership Framework

The ISR department is currently focused on the University’s Strategic Partnership Framework (SPF) and its relationships with its Strategic Partners in the region:

• Universidad de Antioquia, in Colombia;
• Universidad de Chile, in Chile;
• Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, in México;
• Universidade de Sao Paulo, in Brazil.

Several instruments have been established to pursue our collaboration agenda and enhance our relationships with our Partners. Amongst others, these include:

1. Efforts towards academic matchmaking that can be reflected in research output;
2. Support for non-degree staff and student mobility that aims to convert this into long-standing cooperation.
3. The promotion and allocation of resources for Sandwich PhD trajectories.

With the SPF, the UG aims to increase the impact of international collaboration on the quality of research and education at both the Partner Universities and the University of Groningen.
