Reminder: Workshop

Many funded academic and research projects have components of higher education integrated in them. From participatory curriculum development to gender transformative teaching approaches, innovative trends contribute to the improvement of higher education around the world. Yet external political, social and internal/structural challenges influence the direction and often the success of such projects. This workshop (in the framework of Tropentag 2024) will provide a unique opportunity to discuss these and other issues with representatives from the Austrian Development Agency and the Austrian Partnership for Higher Education and Research (APPEAR), who will give input from the perspective of funding institutions. The workshop encourages participation from a wide set of actors: experienced senior scientists, early career researchers just beginning a project, and related stakeholders or practitioners within such projects. Join the workshop for an informative exchange of experiences that we hope you can both build upon and draw a network from.

Main purpose of the workshop:

• Create space for discussions on international research projects with higher education components
• Share lessons learned, challenges experienced and methods that have succeeded
• Provide networking opportunities
