Researchers
There are several researchers associated with The Baltic University Programme. These researchers work at their home universities, BUP participating universities, but cooperate within one or several networks of the Programme. You find some of them listed under the 10 BUP themes below.
Within each BUP theme, we have a theme coordinator. The researchers that are a part of these networks can get the chance to take part in theme meetings, matchmaking events as well as contribute to the BUP Course Platform.
We invite you to have your research profile information published here. Anyone that is conducting research while being employed at one of our participating universities or at an NGO connected to the BUP is welcome to add their research profile. When you decide to join, send us your information and join a BUP theme by filling out this form. Remember that you at any time can ask us to unpublish your information.
