Building Stronger Universities
A podcast series about research capacity development and environmental health research at the State University of Zanzibar
For more than a decade, the research capacity development programme ‘Building Stronger Universities’ has strengthened higher education institutions in Tanzania, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, and Nepal. This podcast series zooms in on and explores the story, experiences, and results of the partnership between Danish universities and the State University of Zanzibar. What are the results of this unique development cooperation? And how has it impacted the individual researchers’ careers and the university and the society as a whole?
Join me on a trip to Zanzibar where I interview four researchers who are working on solutions to some of the islands’ most urgent environmental health challenges, such as mosquito borne viral infections, food and plastic waste at tourist hotels, and pollution of the marine environment.
