Join us for this roadshow event to find out how the SIDA membership can collaborate to achieve the SDGs.

Stepping up to the SDGs – Scotland’s International Development Alliance’s roadshow comes to the University of Glasgow to discuss how collaboration is essential to achieve the SDGs.

What will the event focus on?

Panel sessions will explore the benefits of research-informed development projects, what successful partnership looks like, and how to access funding opportunities which support collaboration for achieving the SDGs.

This event is part of a roadshow connecting academia, iNGOs and the whole SIDA membership, helping to further the SDGs, in collaboration with the University of Glasgow’s Interdisciplinary Research Themes: ‘Sustainability’, and ‘Justice, Insecurity, & Fair Decision Making’.

Two panel sessions will focus on collaboration and funding respectively, and a complimentary lunch will be served afterwards.
