One of the key missions of The Baltic University Programme (BUP) is the creation of courses from different academic disciplines with both theoretical and practical focuses.
The BUP courses are created as MOOCs that focus on sustainability in a Baltic Sea Region context. In addition to courses, events and conferences the BUP has produced a number of textbooks, booklets and films.
