While our research agendas are led by senior academics, we are particularly committed to enabling the active participation of doctoral candidates and early career researchers. Over 400 researchers from across the University and their collaborators – working in physical and biological sciences, engineering and technology, business, law and medicine, and the arts, humanities and social sciences – participate in Cambridge Global Challenges.
CGC works with implementation partners for the research-for-development projects that it facilitates and supports. These partners deliver the key R&D diffusion processes required for academic research to achieve its intended impact in developing countries.
