The Baltic University Programme is a network of more than 190 universities and other institutes of higher learning throughout the Baltic Sea region. The network is coordinated by the Baltic University Programme Secretariat at Uppsala University, Sweden.

The Programme focuses on questions of sustainable development, environmental protection and democracy in the Baltic Sea region. The aim is to support the key role that universities play in a democratic, peaceful and sustainable development. This is achieved by developing university courses and participation in projects in cooperation with authorities, municipalities and others.

The Secretariat initiates and organizes courses on sustainable development in the Baltic Sea region. This includes the production of textbooks, films and other course material. The production is organized in cooperation with the national centers, teachers and researchers in the network.

In general the secretariat works to support and promote the regional cooperation/contacts between universities and corresponding institutions of higher learning throughout the Baltic Sea region.
