capacity, Sida´s Department for Research Cooperation (Sida/SAREC) has collaborated with EMU
since 1978.
Continued training at postgraduate level, both in Mozambique and abroad, research laboratories and
libraries consistently equipped, makes EMU the Mozambique’s main centre of higher education and
the only university with major research programs at postgraduate level in a larger number of
disciplines.
The overall objective of EMU while undertaking the research cooperation with Sida, during the
period of the agreement 2011-2015 is to further strengthen the role of the Eduardo Mondlane
University for higher education and for national research system through support to research,
postgraduate training and development of institutional capacity for research management.
The support focuses on: i) collaborative research and postgraduate training; ii) local postgraduate
research training programs; iii) improvement of research environment; iv) strengthening research
management capacity; v) library services.
