Aims
The Global Academies were created as a response to the increasingly urgent challenges affecting world stability.
They focus their efforts on collaborative action to deliver a global impact by:
- offering interdisciplinary teaching programmes focused on bridging theory, policy and practice.
- conducting research that develops and translates scientific advances into policy and practice.
- working in partnerships across academia, commerce, civil society and local communities to form equitable relationships across the global North and South.
- fostering communities of practice that advance interdisciplinary understanding.
- championing equality and justice, particularly for women, children and marginalised communities.
- coordinating events in Edinburgh and internationally for scholars, students and partners, building a powerful global network of collaborators.
- forging novel teaching and research activities and approaches, through cross-disciplinary and open partnerships across our Schools and Colleges.
