Cancelled Event - The 4th Annual Ethiopia Seminar: Engendering Higher Education - leadership, research and education
Gender equity and equality in higher education requires cultural change, national policies, institutional actions, mentoring and leadership training of female staff. In Ethiopia great efforts have been made, much has been achieved, but considerable work remains. Join us for discussions and experience sharing.
Norway and Ethiopia have endured a successful, long-term partnership supported by Norway’s 2018 Development Policy. The 4th Annual Ethiopia Seminar will include presentations of ongoing activities related to engendering higher education in Norway and Ethiopia. The aim is to increase the awareness of the importance of engendering higher education leadership, research and education in any society.
The University of Oslo (UiO), Faculty of Medicine has two core partners in Ethiopia:
- Jimma University (JU) is one of the leading universities in Ethiopia. The Institute of Health Sciences (IHS) is the largest medical and health sciences training institute in Ethiopia, running 54 academic programs (undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate).
- St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) is a federal tertiary hospital and medical college in Addis Ababa, directly under and represents the Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH).
Capacity building in research and research education in public health, health sciences, and primary health care systems is at the core of our collaboration. The partnership has two major grants: The NORAD funded Norwegian Programme for Capacity Development in Higher Education and Research (NORHED) program (2012-2020), and a DIKU funded (2017-2021) mobility project (NORPART). Mobility is bidirectional and strategically driven by the institutions' research and education development agenda.
Norwegian partner institutions and organizations with interest in activities in Ethiopia are invited.
