Lund University collaborates and cooperates with top universities all over the world through international networks, programmes and platforms.
Global Dynamic Engagement (GDE) is Lund University's approach to enhance our international impact in research, education, innovation and cooperation. In this work, democracy, human rights, academic freedom, and accountability are core values.
Through GDE, we aim to strengthen and develop our collaborations in Asia. Our priority activities here are outlined in an annual roadmap.
