HLK has had a collaboration agreement with Pune University since 2005. Magnus Apelqvist and Per Bergström are the Swedish programme coordinators. |
In December 2009, Dr. Ann-Kristin Boström at the National Center for Lifelong Learning (ENCELL), a unit within HLK, received a SASNET guest lecture programme grant to invite Dr. K. Pushpanadham, Department of Educational Administration, Faculty of Education and Psychology, M.S. University of Baroda, India. Dr. Pushpanadham has previously (2007-08) been a Visiting Professor at the Institute of International Education (IIE) at Stockholm University. He is currently working on a research project entitled ”Education for Rural Transformation in India and China” and also engaged in a school network project on global Citizenship with Stockholm School Administration.
Dr. Ann-Kristin Boström is also Director of Education in the Swedish National Agency for Education, and Special Advisor for the Swedish Ministry of Education and Research. Her special interest is lifelong learning, intergenerational learning and social capital. She is currently a Research Fellow at Encell, conducting research about intergenerational learning within a European project. She hopes to involve Dr. Pushpanadham in ENCELL’s research activities onwards.
Dr. Pushpanadham visited Jönköping University as a guest professor for two and a half weeks in September-October 2010.
During his visit to Jönköping, Dr. Pushpanadham (photo to the right) interacted with students and researchers on the emerging challenges of Education in Asia and highlighted the need for global partnership for sustainable development.
He also
visited the School of Engineering, School of Health Sciences and the School of International Business Studies at Jönkoping University and planned for various student and staff exchange programs.
Prof. Helene Ahl (photo to the left), the Director of Encell, is hopeful for further collaboration and research partnership with the M.S. Baroda University and this visit is just a beginning in this direction.
