WUN Research Development Fund

The WUN Research Development Fund (RDF) is an annual scheme that provides one year of seed funds to foster research collaborations among WUN members with a view to stimulating larger projects that will strengthen WUN and making the collaborating partners competitive for major external grants. The research topics normally address one or more of the one or more of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and fall within the scope of the Global Challenges (Global Higher Education and Research, Public Health, Responding to Climate Change, and Understanding Cultures).
