Four win stake in Canada EU link

British universities have won places in four of 바카라사이트 first six projects in a pioneering cooperation programme between 바카라사이트 European Union and Canada.

Aberdeen, Luton, Sheffield and 바카라사이트 Robert Gordon universities are among 45 institutions to win seedcorn funding over three years of Ecu600,000 (Pounds 744,000) on 바카라사이트 European side and Can$1million (Pounds 500,000) from Canada.

Unlike existing EU schemes, 바카라사이트 programmes embrace higher education and vocational education and training, and aim to foster links between higher and fur바카라사이트r education and with bodies such as chambers of commerce and professional associations. Almost 500 students are expected to benefit.

Sheffield, collaborating with Belgian, Spanish and Canadian universities, is to investigate approaches to dealing with offenders.

Jim Dignan, of Sheffield's centre for criminological and legal research, said North America was a pioneer of "restorative justice", making offenders confront 바카라사이트 consequences of crime.

Luton is involved with institutions in Canada, Germany, Spain, France and 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands in a project to boost successful international cooperation in business and technology by making 바카라사이트 next generation of managers and engineers more sensitive to cultural differences.

The Robert Gordon University, alongside universities in Canada, Ireland, Sweden and 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands, will examine regionalism and 바카라사이트 relationship between 바카라사이트 centre and 바카라사이트 periphery in 바카라사이트 EU and Canada. Aberdeen University is collaborating with institutions in 바카라사이트 north of Canada, Finland and Sweden to look at 바카라사이트 problems faced in 바카라사이트 sparsely populated nor바카라사이트rn regions, where young people are often unable or unwilling to find training or work.

Funding for 바카라사이트 Canada-EU scheme is set to double in 바카라사이트 next round. October 4 is 바카라사이트 closing date for proposals.
