Keypoints

A debate on the University Consortium for Small Island Developing States. 

  • There is a lack of physical resources. Schools can join to increase support for knowledge and research on the ground and exchange best practices; potential to provide even better platforms.
  • The strengthening of the consortium itself needs a strategic resource mobilization. 
  • Founding values of the university: let some smaller universities lead the way in. 
  • Needs a united front in finding solutions and a mandate for human resource development, fostering research, and indigenous resources, and providing coordinating and alignment mechanisms. 
  • Governments can capture the human capital to help develop small island economies. Being highly dependent on one single sector is problematic.  
  • Funding joint research within the consortium will help to meet the SDGs through transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary to start. 
  • UNESCO and all the funding partners are very committed to making this happen (consortium) with proposals from experts (e.g. on membership).
