Partners

UniPID’s principle stakeholders are researchers, students, and other staff in the member universities. In addition, UniPID has established a network of national and international stakeholders, including cooperation partners, and the relevant decision makers in development policy, as well as research and higher education policy and funding.

Building bridges

UniPID has an intermediary role between the member universities and the other stakeholders. For instance, UniPID delivers and promotes member universities’ study contents and teaching to the students, serves as a platform for international stakeholders to look for Finnish partners, and disseminates the knowledge and views of the research community to the decision makers.
