Cambridge Global Challenges Annual Conferences
Bringing together the University of Cambridge's global challenges community and its collaborators contributing to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the annual conferences highlight ongoing and emerging i) research themes across the University, ii) collaboration opportunities with researchers and iii) implementation partners in ODA- target countries funding opportunities that support research contributing to the SDGs in developing world contexts.
The design of the day meant that the sessions were really engaging and the breadth of expertise was impressive. At a personal level, I have begun discussions that should have very valuable outcomes.”
Catherine Hasted, Head of Business Partnerships at the Strategic Partnerships Office at the University of Cambridge
Cambridge Global Challenges Round Tables
Cambridge Global Challenges Round Tables give Cambridge researchers the opportunity to talk about research relating to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Round Tables, which prioritise participation by early career researchers, are informal and discursive. Speakers are encouraged to present on the progress of their research, and any difficulties they are facing working in developing countries. CGC will try to help with the latter where possible.
The Round Table initiated discussions with a researcher from the Clinical School working in a similar area, on isolates from the same continent and with links and contacts with me that are very relevant to my research. It is a great delight to see this collaboration grow from one week to another. The follow-up and support from the Cambridge Global Challenges team have also been amazing: I am now more confident to explore other opportunities that the University offers.”
Chioma Achi, PhD Researcher at the Department of Veterinary Medicine
