A DSA IRELAND/TIDI/3U Global Health Workshop
International development collaborative projects, by their very nature are cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral. Added to that, the complexity of the large geographical spread of partners, differences in systems and cultures and lack of research infrastructure, can make the development of cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral collaborations challenging.
This research workshop will bring together researchers, development practitioners and private industry, with a view to exploring and creating opportunities to pursue research on international development, which utilises the unique expertise of each sector.
It will provide an opportunity to:
- Outline the main sources of funding in international development-related research projects with a particular emphasis on H2020 opportunities;
- Identify the markers for success according to funders and successful grant recipients;
- Hear about MSME’s (Micro Small and Medium Enterprises) and SME’s (Small and Medium Enterprises) delivering development;
- Network and build research partnerships with others from HEI’s, NGO’s and private sector backgrounds;
- Learn how to develop and sustain equal partnerships with partners in the global south;
- Explore critical and innovative approaches to the role of trade in development according to academic experts.
Minister of State for Development, Trade Promotion and North-South Co-operation, Sean Sherlock, will open this workshop and it will be addressed by the following experts:
- A Panel of Principle Investigators from Successful International Development Research Projects;
- A Panel of Research Programme Officers with expertise on research calls for international development projects;
- Representatives from Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) working in industry in the global south;
