INSPIRE defines a strategic partnership as one that aims to develop an institution-to-institution link based on a number of different areas of activity. These could be a mix of the following activities: research co-operation, teacher exchange, curriculum development, student exchange or collaborative programme development.
Over the course of the partnership, institutions should aim to involve different levels and departments within the university to create a multi-dimensional, international relationship.
