 The Baltic University Programme (BUP) seeks to find new ways for universities to interact with each other and the society. Its goal is to build and strengthen the local and international educational communities. BUP is an innovative network at its core.

Today, approximately 230 universities and other educational institutions in the Baltic Sea Region are part of the Programme. The BUP Coordinating Secretariat manages the Programme and is headquartered at Uppsala University (Uppsala, Sweden). Uppsala University is the oldest and one of the largest universities in Sweden. The Uppsala University has nine faculties: Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Educational Sciences, Faculty of Languages, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Pharmacy, Faculty of Science and Technology, Faculty of Social Sciences, Faculty of Theology.

The programme's work focuses on issues of sustainable development, environmental protection and democracy in the Baltic Sea Region. The goal is to support the key role universities play in the democratic, peaceful and sustainable development. This is achieved through the development of university courses, support for multidisciplinary research projects and participation in transdisciplinary projects in collaboration with authorities, municipalities and other institutions. In addition, membership in the Baltic University Programme gives the university member the right to send students and teachers to courses and to attend conferences.
