UGlobe selects new research ideas

In September UGlobe launched a Call for Ideas. Researchers were invited to submit their creative and innovative research ideas on global challenges to UGlobe. The Programme Team is very pleased to announce that 14 proposals have been granted.

The intention of the Call for Ideas was to select and support innovative and creative new research projects, which are in line with UGlobe鈥檚 central theme of global contestation and its four domains (human rights, conflict & security, sustainability, and development & equity). UGlobe welcomed ideas on how these research domains can be studied from a multi- or interdisciplinary perspective, how they are interlinked with each other, and how these linkages can be made visible.  Furthermore, the Programme Team was particularly looking for ideas that could enhance cooperation in the field of education and strengthen UGlobe鈥檚 activities in this field.

Creativity

The Programme Team was very pleased with the large number of proposals,  25 in total, all of which were of a very high quality and showed creativity and originality. UGlobe鈥檚 Programme Team and Academic Board read all proposals with great interest. We are very pleased to announce that 14 proposals were granted financial support, whereas three other proposals were provisionally selected upon the conditions that they are elaborated and modified.

Next phase

In a second round, UGlobe will select 4-8 projects from these awarded proposals which will become part of the core of UGlobe鈥檚 research activities in the coming three years. UGlobe will support the research involved with its (limited) means. After this period of three years another Call for Ideas will be issued and new projects will be selected.
