Bridging the gap:
Inclusive criteria in research funding
Tuesday 1 October 2024
11:00 – 12:30 CEST
Online webinar
Various private and public organisations fund projects and activities to support the necessary transitions due to climate change. The way calls are positioned most often does not address the needs of vulnerable groups. Still, when applicants do address the needs of specific groups that are at risk or more difficult to convince to be part of the transition, this is often considered a strength of these proposals as such proposals cover a specific need.
This webinar will address the issue and look at:
- NGOs’ perspective: Strategies for addressing the needs of vulnerable groups to increase the likelihood of securing funding.
- Funding Organisations’ perspective: Approaches to incorporating the needs of vulnerable groups into funding criteria and guidelines.
Speakers
- Dr. Sotiris Petropoulos, Co-founder HIGGS
- Prof. Andrei Holman, UAIC
- Nikos Zaharis, SEERC (moderator)
Target participants
- NGOs developing innovative approaches to facilitate the transition to a more sustainable society.
- Funding organisations supporting projects aimed at building resilience in the face of climate change.
- Policy-makers interested in promoting inclusive funding practices.
- Researchers exploring the intersection of sustainability, inclusivity, and funding.
- Anyone with an interest in inclusive research funding practices.
