Building academic and research partnerships for development using various funding schemes

Boekbijdrage - Hoofdstuk

Ghent University has a long tradition of university development cooperation (UDC) in various disciplines. The majority of these activities are funded by the Belgian Development Cooperation (DGD) through VLIR-UOS, the actor responsible on behalf of the Flemish universities for UDC. Other major funding agencies include the Flemish government and the European Commission through its so-called Framework programmes. This article illustrates a number of activities of academics forn Ghent University who have been successful in using different sources of funding to achieve both the academic goals of the Flemish academic partner and those of the UDC financer and southern partners. The goals of the latter are more focused on capacity building in education and research, development of the respective country and service to society, while the goals of the former aim primarily at scientific excellence.
