It is also the purpose of the Group to influence European educational and research policy and to develop best practice through mutual exchange of experience. The University of Turku is actively involved also in its working groups eg. Latin America and Global Partnerships. The work is based eg. on the issues of capacity building and improvements of institutional capacities also with Sub-Saharan partners. </p><p>>>For more information, visit <a href="https://www.coimbra-group.eu/" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.coimbra-group.eu/" target="_blank">Coimbra Group's website </a> </p><h3>CONSAMS</h3><p>CONSAMS - The “Consortium of New Sub-Sahara African Medical Schools” - was founded in 2011 under the original name of the “Consortium of New Southern African Medical Schools.” At an ensuing Annual General Meeting, it was decided to expand the organization to include members across the African continent and beyond southern Africa - hence the name change from “Southern African” to Sub-Sahara African. Today CONSAMS is rapidly expanding across Africa to include new medical schools that are within about 10-15 years of graduating their first class of medical students.</p><p>>>For more information, visit <a href="https://consams.net/">CONSAMS website</a></p><h3>SANORD</h3><p>Launched in 2006, Southern African – Nordic Centre (SANORD) is committed to advancing strategic, multilateral academic collaboration between institutions in the Southern African and Nordic regions in order to address new local and global challenges of innovation and development.

With the help of innovative simulation pedagogy education, medical and nursing trainers will be trained in such a way that they can teach more students independently in their own facilities. The University of Turku is taking the leading role in the funding application and will collaborate with Tampre University to coordinate the main activities. However, all partner institutions will participate in the designing and implementation of the course contents and simulation cases. The goal is to strengthen the existing educational cooperation among four African countries (South Africa, Namibia, Tanzania and Rwanda). This project will pool the expertise of each university to create an environment of high-quality training in simulation pedagogy through virtual collaborative teaching activities, staff mobility and hands-on simulation sessions of medical and nursing educators.</p><p>>>For more information, visit <a href="https://www.oph.fi/sites/default/files/documents/Interprofessional%20simulation%20education%20in%20Africa.pdf">here</a></p><h3>UniPID</h3><p>Finnish University Partnerships for International Development (UniPID) is a network of Finnish universities where the University of Turku is actively involved.
