This project seeks to steadily build on the successes achieved in teaching, research, and partnerships. The vision for a more effective UPEACE in the long term concentrates on strengthening each part of an interrelated programme of activities. 1. Strengthening face-to-face teaching and research: Reinforcing the abilities of the Headquarters campus and serving the entire UPEACE system with curriculum development activities; reinforcing teaching and research; establishing solid links to institutional partners in other parts of the world. 2. Expanding UPEACE's presence in the world: Forging partnerships with institutions to assist with student and faculty exchanges; contribute to curriculum development; and encourage links between UPEACE alumni and their home institutions, as well as greater collaboration with regional partners. 3.
