Finnish University Partnership for International Development (UniPID)

UniPID is a partnership network between universities. The aim of UniPID (the Finnish University Partnership for International Development) network is to implement the concept of institutional partnership, approved at the Johannesburg Summit on Sustainable Development in the field of research and education. Our key objective is to establish long-standing research and development co-operation based on partnerships and durable personal and institutional contacts between universities in Finland and abroad to support sustainable development and information society research and education around the World.

The networks of scientists are one the most important ways to tackle capacity building as they allow for the sharing of scientific knowledge, identification of common interests, understanding of impacts, dissemination, information gathering and support through collaboration. Building partner networks to support sustainability is the goal of the UniPID project and its current capacity building phase.

The UniPID Executive Board is composed of Finland's leading professors and academics in the fields of sustainablity and international development cooperation. They represent a diverse range of disciplines, each a specialist in their own field. In combining resources and expertise, the UniPID network strives to be at the forefront of sustainable international development cooperation in both research and implementation.
