THE BALTIC UNIVERSITY PROGRAMME

Program Baltských univerzít (BUP) je dynamická sieť približne 100 univerzít, ktoré sa nachádzajú v 10 krajinách povodia Baltského mora. Vznikla v roku 1991 ako nadšená snaha preklenúť informačnú priepasť, ktorú zanechala železná opona, a odvtedy sa neustále rozrastá. Po tridsiatich rokoch úspešnej spolupráce môže byť BUP a jej poslanie sotva aktuálnejšie: udržateľný rozvoj regiónu Baltského mora.
