2025 was yet another year filled with meaningful encounters, new ideas and inspiring collaborations - and a year where we sharpened our focus on creating spaces for shared learning and knowledge exchange for our many partners, old and new, in Denmark and abroad.
One of the year’s highlights was the launch of the Knowledge and Innovation Programme promoting partnerships between Danish and African universities.
We also had the pleasure of delivering a wide range of tailored learning activities in support of Denmark’s strategic sector cooperation and international development cooperation programmes.
Throughout the year, we have continued to manage and support research collaboration between universities in Denmark and universities in selected development partner countries, an example being our long-term contribution to institutional capacity building through the Building Stronger Universities programme.
Our continued focus on strengthening networks and communication also shaped 2025. The collaborative events organised by Danida fellows through the Danida Fellows Network showed how powerful it can be when people connect, share experiences and help make each other’s work visible and known.
In parallel, 2025 marked the end of our first Knowledge in Action strategy period and the beginning of a new Strategy 2026–2030, which continues to be guided by the overarching theme Knowledge in Action.
