In this podcast, we speak to Stamenka Uvalic-Trumbic who is Chief, Section for Reform, Innovation and Quality Assurance in Higher Education at UNESCO. Stamenka gives insights into the UNESCO – HP partnership to use grid and cloud computing technology to connect universities in Africa and the Middle East to global research networks.
Universities involved can re-establish or strengthen links between researchers who have stayed in their home countries and those who left, connecting scientists to international peers, academic networks and funding opportunities.
