As part of the project’s commitment to international cooperation on climate action, we are inviting new partners to join in the research as affiliate universities. We are welcoming proposals from affiliate institutions in our existing project countries (Brazil, Fiji, Kenya and Mozambique) and in other parts of the world. Affiliation to the project can involve some or all of the following activities:
We also welcome researchers working at the intersection of education and climate change to affiliate themselves to the project. These may be academics, graduate students or independent researchers, located at participating or affiliate universities or in other institutions.

In addition, affiliate researchers are welcome to participate in networking and knowledge exchange events and professional development activities run by the project, and will be listed on the website.
