We are delighted to present to you the first grant recipients of the ETH4D Research Challenges, which address challenges faced by underprivileged people in low income countries. These projects also foster collaborations between ETH researchers and non-​academic partners (i.e. Private Sector, NGOs, Governmental Organizations) and partners from the Global South.

The ETH4D Research Challenges programme is a funding scheme in which ETH4D members can apply for funding between 10 and 100 kCHF. Application deadline is 28th February 2020.

On 4th December 2019, ETH for Development held its second General Assembly which gathered more than 20 heads of research groups as well the leadership of various ETH Units including Global, ETH Sustainability and ETH NADEL.
