COOPERATION

Researcher exchange | Partner universities | Research networks

Graduates by June 2013. There remain at least 5 upcoming BRC-OULU doctoral defences for the autumn 2013.

Both research and education activities of BRC-OULU rely on active international collaboration with our partners, and actions taken with local, national and global interest groups and research networks. Special attention is paid for the internationalization of doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers via research exchanges. In this way the cross-sectorial and intercultural benefit from the BRC-OULU activities for the society become fully exploited.
