The South Intensive program, as one of the actions of the Global Minds project of VLHORA (the umbrella organisation of Flemish Higher Education Organisation), within the framework of VLIR-UOS (organisation for University Development Cooperation) targets to foster a cooperation between students and lecturers in North and South on a specific theme relevant to development cooperation which is not necessarily part of the existing curriculum. The most important traits of a SIP are its multidisciplinary character and innovative approach.
