Citizen Engagement and Natural Resource Governance Education (CitRes.Edu)
The student exchange program (CitRes.edu) aims to develop a high-quality research-based and work life relevant educational partnership between NTNU and UGM focusing on the dynamic between transnational natural resource governance and local citizen engagement. The program will do so by supporting increased student mobility between Indonesia and Norway, and contribute to internationalization of master and PhD program at UGM and NTNU.
