BUP for researchers
One of the main aims of The Baltic University Programme is to promote a regional research community in the field of sustainability science. The BUP works with this mainly by:
- Offering research networks according to the 10 BUP themes.
- Coordinating publications and annual grant calls through the BUP Research and Publication Office (BUPRaP).
- Publishing a Research Notes Letter on conducted research at BUP participating universities.
- Arranging a BUP Symposium related to the 10 BUP themes.
- Arranging scientific conferences in cooperation with BUP participating universities.

Research networking and collaborations
We strive towards creating opportunities for researchers at BUP participating universities to meet and cooperate with each other. One way of promoting research collaboration is by creating research networks within the ten BUP themes that we present on the BUP website.

Research visibility
As a researcher at a BUP participating university, you have the opportunity to share your research within the Programme. One way of doing this is by contributing to the BUP Research Notes Letter. This publication includes abstracts on some of the most recent publications concerning the Baltic Sea Region and our ten BUP themes.
We want the Research Notes Letter to reflect the multi- and interdisciplinary science we believe is central to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals indicated by the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Support for young researchers
The BUP has two yearly recurring funding opportunities, the BUP PhD Award and the BUP Mobility Grant, aimed at young researchers. The PhD Award supports high-quality research promoting sustainable development in a Baltic Sea Region context. The Mobility Grant aims to develop and strengthen networking and cooperation for young researchers in the Baltic Sea Region.
Supervisor Collegium
The Supervisor Collegium is an initiative where colleagues contribute with their skills and knowledge to supervise master and PhD students from participating universities in their thesis work. This is a win-win situation. Both for students who can get a second set of support, but also for supervisors who get to add this experience to their skillset.
