Participation in the 6th Autumn University: “Research and cooperation: Vehicles for global change”

  • November 8th, 2022

On the 3 and 4 November 2022, the ARMAQoL group participated in the 6th Edition of the Autumn University, an interuniversity event promoted by the Generalitat Valenciana as part of the collaboration between the Valencian public universities (Univeristy of Alacant, Universitat Jaume I, Miguel Hernández University, Universitat Politècnica de Valencia and Universitat de València).

This event on university cooperation for development took place in the Botanical Garden and its aim was to encourage reflection on how university can contribute in terms of research to NGDOs and cooperation agencies.
On the first day, we attended a talk between researchers and social entities that covered the following topics: 0 Hunger, Responsible Production and Consumption, Health and Gender, Education and Innovation, Reducing Inequalities, Peace, Justice and Solid institutions. The objective was to discuss what knowledge from academia and university research can be contributed to the sphere of Cooperation and NGOs.
On the second day, we divided ourselves into work groups based on thematic areas. This was done with the aim of generating synergy between researchers to outline future research projects with multidisciplinary groups, as well as to apply for the next call for research that is yet to be published by the Valencian Department of Participation, Transparency, Cooperation and Democratic Quality.
