UMAP Research Net

UMAP Research Net (RN) promotes research collaboration and facilitates cooperation among member institutions across the UMAP Network. Cross-border higher education opportunities around the world have grown considerably through the mobility of students, academic staff, programs/institutions, and professionals.

Driven by this global trend, RN aims to promote academic mobility and collaboration and to promote effective interaction and exchange among scholars, researchers and educators across cultures.

UMAP selects the proposals based on their significance, timelines, and relevance to the goals of UMAP. The Research Net Competition is held approximately every two years.
