Capacity building in developing countries on biodiversity and environmental issues

We translate biodiversity information into capacity building and sustainable development in developing countries

We have long-term institutional partnerships (Institutional University Cooperations - VLIR) with the University of Moulay Ismail in Morocco on sustainability and energy; and with the Universidad de Oriente in Cuba on biodiversity, the environment and food production. We also have numerous smaller-scale collaborations with universities and research institutes throughout sub-Saharan Africa, mainly on the monitoring and management of aquatic ecosystems.

Projects

• VLIR UOS Morocco - The project aims to strengthen the institutional capacities of the University to support regional actors in terms of appropriation and integration of sustainability tools
• VLIR UOS Cuba - The project intends to structure the doctoral school while offering doctorands an environment where they  acquire scientific skills, and are trained towards communicating research results, innovation and transfer of innovation to industry and society, along with the reinforcement of the digitization of the university administration
