The current structure of humanitarian research systems marginalizes Global South institutes. However, a recent study has shown that southern-led research has a number of comparative advantages, including an emphasis on issues that directly benefit crisis-affected populations.

This event features researchers from the Global South and Global North and donors. We will explore how southern- and northern-led research differ and discuss barriers and potential paths to more equitable humanitarian research opportunities for Global South researchers and institutes.

When: March 9, 2023 from 10:00 to 11:30 am EST. Please check your time zone.
