The BUP will admit master students from different disciplines, universities and nationalities. The students should be working with their master thesis during the spring semester of 2023. The content of the master thesis should be related to sustainability in a Baltic Sea Region context.

The training will take place 27-30 March 2023 in Uppsala, Sweden.
Goals of the training
The objective is to give master students from the BUP member countries the possibility to meet and discuss scientific problems with a focus on sustainability in an interdisciplinary, international, multicultural, and regional context.
