Description

The 10 year Institutional University Cooperation programme of VLIRUOS (www.vliruos) with the Anton De Kom University (www.uvs.edu) of Suriname provides a unique opportunity to contribute to the institutional development of a university in the South. With the motto ‘Sharing minds, Changing lives’ VLIR-UOS captures the fact that building the capacity of academic institutions will enable societies to independently find solutions for local development problems. In this specific project, a master programme was developed and installed in 2010 a the Faculty for Societal Sciences of the Anton De Kom University of Suriname, addressing the themes ‘Civil Participation’, ‘Community Development’, ‘Poverty Alleviation’ and ‘Entrepreneurship’. At the moment, the Master in Education and Research for Sustainable Development (MERSD) serves over 200 master and PhD students and graduates. The project is led by and is led by r. Randy Van Zichem (ADEKUS) and prof. dr. Tom Vanwing (VUB) under coördination of prof. dr. Henry Ori (ADEKUS) and prof. dr. Wim Van Petegem (KUL)
