What can Swedish universities do to build research capacity in low-income countries and at the same time gain from cooperating with these countries? What are the obstacles and how can we overcome them?

Swedish universities and university colleges are increasing their focus on internationalization, as international collaborations create competitive education and high quality research. Economically expansive regions and resourceful universities are the main focus of today’s collaborations, but what incentives are there for an increased cooperation with low-income countries? Can cooperation with low-income countries both increase the quality in Swedish education and at the same time build research capacity in these countries? And what about the future? Do universities and university colleges have the capability to develop the cooperation with low-income countries?
