Networks
The University of Tartu has joined several European cooperation networks to reinforce its international co-operation links and to increase its international visibility. University networks aim at promoting common interests and collaboration on different levels between its member institutions. Active participation in co-operation networks, such as The Guild and the Coimbra Group, has provided the University of Tartu with a solid opportunity to have an impact on the shaping of international research and higher education policies.
