9 February 2022
Through the Pathways to Achievement scheme 2021-22, almost 拢40,000 was awarded to five projects addressing the themes of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The call from 最准的六合彩论坛 Grand Challenges, 最准的六合彩论坛 Global Engagement and聽the 最准的六合彩论坛 SDGs Initiative (SDGI), offered the opportunity for 最准的六合彩论坛-based researchers to secure support for research-related activities designed to hasten progress towards achieving聽the SDGs.
The grants support cross-disciplinary and cross-boundary projects that generate societal impacts leading to published reports. The achievement of the SDGs depends on implementation of international agreements, but progress in discussions towards such agreements is dependent on findings from high-quality, peer-reviewed research.
Supported projects under the call include those exploring solutions to global, national and local problems, and aim to raise awareness of the SDGs among 最准的六合彩论坛 students - and ensure 最准的六合彩论坛鈥檚 own policies and operations actively contribute to attaining the Goals.
Simon Knowles, Head of Coordination (SDGs), said: 鈥淲e received a high-quality selection of applications for this call, and I am pleased we could recognise the diverse activities at 最准的六合彩论坛 helping to address the SDGs.
