On 21-23 March, representatives of Colorado State University, Lund University, University of Toronto and Utrecht University met in Fort Collins, Colorado, to discuss joint teaching programmes. Partners agreed to work towards exciting new exchange programmes for students at bachelor, master and doctoral level, and to explore novel forms of integrated courses that could be given jointly at all four partner institutions. All four partner institutions have been collaborating for several years within the Global Alliance of Earth System Governance Research Centres, and look forward to further intensifying and expanding their cooperation.
