TEAM and South Initiatives: general characteristics • ‘TEAM to TEAM’ cooperation • Integrated academic cooperation (research, education and extension) • Based on a specific developmentproblem • Focused on local capacity building at sub-institutional level • Aligned on the institutional priorities • Responding to a question from the South • Fit within the country strategy

  12. Difference between South Initiatives and TEAM • South Initiative (SI): focuses more on exploration, pilot initiatives, starting academic cooperation • TEAM: deepening of the ‘TEAM to TEAM’ cooperation and possible widening of the addressed issues • Often a TEAM project builds on a former South Initiative, or a SI deals with the extension of results of former TEAM projects • SI can be more ‘trials’ as compared to a TEAM • SI is mx. 2 years whereas a TEAM max. 5 years
