[UOS] Global Minds call Explore/Valorise 2025

Call for exploring or valorising collaborations with the Global South

The focus of this Explore/Valorise call 2025 is on proposals from Ghent University researchers that want to:

1. explore a collaboration with one or more partners in the Global South;
2. valorise the outputs of an already existing collaboration with one or more partners in the Global South;

Proposals should entail innovative responses to global and local challenges. Furthermore, they should be characterised by equal partnership and sustainable collaboration among the partners.

• organization of seminars, workshops, or lectures to disseminate research findings to a broader range of non-academic stakeholders and communities (Valorise)
• converting research outputs into trainings, tools, policy advise or guidelines for specific end-users (Valorise)
• establishing a learning network or co-creation platform that brings together a mix of academic and non-academic stakeholders (Valorise)
