Mapping the world of higher education and research funders: Actors, models, mechanisms and programs

DDRN and DKUNI have partnered to support this mapping project as part of the preparations for the launching of the Danish university cooperation program. Its terms of reference include the following general objectives:

 - to summarize current models and mechanisms of leading bilateral and private donor organizations used in capacity building in research and research-based education and their feasibility, success and outcome

 - to develop an inventory of key issues and solutions applied in the programs reviewed

 - to provide an overview and opinion on the extent to which the programs reviewed have integrated typical network functions such as communication and knowledge sharing into their support of capacity building
