Research Programme

The Network's Research Programme is closely linked to capacity building in education and institutional development. Three research priority areas are singled out:

  • Environment and Ecology
  • Culture, Language and Society
  • Medicine, Health and Nutrition

The research projects are of two primary categories; one-year pilot projects and long-term projects.

The long-term projects are institutionally embedded with Memorandum of Understanding; Agreements facilitating research and educational cooperation. These projects normally run for a whole programme period.

Researchers are also invited to apply to the Network's Research Programme for Pilot Projects to explore possibilities and establish parnerships with researchers, educators and institutions. Funding opportunities will be announced on the Network's webpages.
