SANORD stands for the Southern African-Nordic Centre, which is an academic
network that promotes collaboration between institutions of higher education and
research in Southern Africa and the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland,
Norway, and Sweden).

Regional meetings organized by SANORD typically serve as platforms for academics,
researchers, and other stakeholders to come together, share knowledge, discuss
common challenges, and explore opportunities for collaboration in areas such as
education, research, and capacity building.

These meetings may cover a range of topics relevant to the objectives of SANORD,
including but not limited to:
1. Research collaboration: Sharing updates on ongoing research projects, identifying
potential areas for joint research initiatives, and discussing funding opportunities.
2. Capacity building: Exchanging best practices in teaching and learning methodologies,
curriculum development, and student support services.
3. Institutional cooperation: Exploring opportunities for institutional partnerships, such
as student and staff exchanges, joint degree programs, and joint research centers.
4. Sustainable development: Addressing issues related to sustainable development,
including environmental conservation, social equity, and economic growth.
5. Global challenges: Discussing global challenges such as climate change, public
health, and inequality, and exploring how collaborative efforts between Southern
African and Nordic institutions can contribute to addressing these challenges.

These regional meetings play a crucial role in fostering academic and research
collaboration between institutions in Southern Africa and the Nordic countries,
ultimately contributing to the advancement of knowledge and the development of
sustainable solutions to shared challenges.
