NOVA
The NOVA University Network was formally established in 1995 and consists of 7 member universities. NOVA’s general objective is to increase the scope of cooperation between these member institutions, thereby improving the quality of research and education. This is achieved by student and teacher mobility, developing NOVA undergraduate, graduate and doctorate courses as well as complete joint NOVA study programmes, in which tasks are divided between the different institutions. Research cooperation, based on the strengths of the member institutions, also promotes improved quality of research. NOVA also markets its activities internationally, e.g., via cooperation projects with the Baltic Sea region, developing countries and the EU.
