GCDC affiliates

Does your research align with Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) aims and challenge areas? Become an affiliate of the GCDC, and join an interdisciplinary community of researchers working to address global challenges through research.

The GCDC seeks to support and connect Kent researchers (whether early, mid or late career) who are working in, or across, all disciplines to address global challenges. The Centre provides a virtual and physical “location” to discuss and undertake research to find solutions to global challenges via specialised training and events and a diverse network of global-challenge-led researchers.
