Research and knowledge have a crucial role to play in addressing global challenges and contributing to the achievement of the SDGs
Our work
What we do
We deliver impact in three areas:
How we work
We’re a facilitator and a catalyst. Our role is behind the scenes not centre stage. We assist our partners to think about how to tackle their challenges, conceive of new strategies, and design practical programmes that enable them to make concrete improvements.
Think of us as the backstage team in a theatre. Our partners – universities and TVETs, research institutions, and the networks that connect them – write the script and take the stage. But to shine at what they do best, they need a well-designed set, careful choreography, lighting that highlights the right areas at the right time, and a wardrobe that equips them to step into their expertise and perform.
Our platforms
Rising Scholars -with over 14,000 members across Africa, Asia and Latin America, Rising Scholars is a platform for and driven by early career researchers allowing them to share their own expertise and learn from their peers.
Transforming Higher Education for Social Change - our proven methodology, developed in partnership with four universities, to motivate academics to teach differently, improve the relevance and quality of courses, and give students the skills and confidence to think critically and solve problems.
