1. SANORD Symposium: 3-4 December 2010

Dear Campus Community

SANORD Symposium at the University of Johannesburg, 3-4 December 2010

The University of Johannesburg, South Africa is hosting the 2010 SANORD symposium on Sustaining Higher Education through Southern African-Nordic Institutional Partnerships from 3-4 December 2010.

The symposium on Sustaining Higher Education through Southern African-Nordic Institutional Partnerships aims to draw on Nordic and southern African experience in establishing and further developing partnerships between SANORD member universities. Some key questions are:
- What aspects of a long term partnership can universities gain most from, and what do they need to do to achieve these things?
- What are the particular university partnership challenges in different settings and are there special opportunities or pitfalls in north-south collaboration?
- Are we ready to embrace the concept of long term partnerships? What is the role of researchers and leadership in facilitating long term partnerships?
- What are the main constraints that researchers, students, administrators and leaders face in the development of long term partnerships and, hence, the main things we can do to strengthen the capacity of the institution and the region?

The Southern African−Nordic Centre (SANORD) would like to invite members and other partners to this symposium on the nature and possibilities of long term university partnerships. Invited speakers include university leaders and academics from the southern African and Nordic regions. The symposium will run over one and a half days and will allow generous space for debate and creative interaction. SANORD invites your active participation and looks forward to two exciting days with you.
