Embodying Work Integration best practices in Continuing technical Education: A Sweden–India Joint Initiative – EWICE
University West (HV) and the School of Engineering at Jönköping University (JU) will in this project establish a synergetic partnership with BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, in India. The aim is to support aspiring engineers in gaining skills relevant to the workplace and equip practicing engineers to keep pace with technological developments through continual professional development.
The partnership extends to all facets of higher engineering education, from curriculum development and content delivery to experiential learning and evaluation.
South Africa – Sweden University Forum+ (SASUF+)
SASUF+ builds on the solid foundation of strategic collaboration between 37 South African and Swedish partner universities. The SASUF+ initiative focuses on deepening collaborative partnerships, promoting joint innovation and addressing global societal challenges through a glocal approach that considers both global and local conditions.
This phase of SASUF+ will advance interdisciplinary research in four central thematic areas: Sustainable Health, Green Transition, Migration and Urbanisation, as well as Democracy, Social Justice and Indigenous Knowledge Systems.
A total of seven applications were received in the 2025 round.
