These partnerships provide a helpful framework for exchange and cooperation as well as ensuring that the University is involved in international debates on research and science policy and can be present with a stronger voice.
University networks
Active membership in university networks promotes lasting and trust-based relationships that support, among others, joint research projects, the exchange of best practices and the use of research infrastructures. The ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ is particularly involved in "The Guild" and "ENLIGHT".
Platforms
The ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ houses a number of collaboration platforms that bring together international researchers on important topics. By providing in-kind support, the ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ offers these international platforms a home. For example, it hosts three “Global Research Networks” of the “Future Earth” initiative.
UniBE initiatives
With initiatives on various topics, the ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ pools expertise and fosters international networking. In this way, it sets a further focus on internationalization. For example, the "Initiative Afrique" strengthens the ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ's many years of experience in cooperation with African partners.
