With a rich history of working with faculty staff, we have built a positive track record of successful collaborations. Our extensive experience includes managing complex, inter and trans-disciplinary capacity building, research and education projects funded by donors such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nuffic, and the European Union.

  • Inclusive and global cooperation: we create spaces for meaningful global cooperation and facilitate dialogue among academics around the world to support inclusive, multi-directional knowledge exchange. Through networks like AURORA and SSTC (South South Triangular Cooperation), we enable joint projects and strategic partnerships that address global challenges, such as food systems transformation and climate change, enhancing research visibility and impact internationally.
