The goal of NORHED is to build higher education and research capacities mainly in low and middle income countries (LMICs), as a means to enhance sustainable conditions conducive to societal development and poverty reduction.
The NORHED programme supports cooperation between higher education institutions in Norway and low- and middle income countries, and the projects may combine different capacity building elements like research projects, PhD- and master education and institutional/administrative capacity building activities. The programme is intended to enable flexible and long term cooperation.
The University of ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ is Norwegian main partner in seven NORHED projects 2013-18 and is participating in two others where NTNU and the Universty of Tromsø are main Norwegian partners.
