New calls open for university cooperation projects for a global justice

08/01/2024

Since 1993, the Fundació Autònoma Solidària (FAS) is in charge of the UAB's Solidarity Fund. Thanks to donations from the university itself, those included in the tuition fees of students and those made by lecturers and researchers (PDI) and administration and services staff (PAS), the FAS subsidises cooperation and education projects focusing on global justice and developed by members of the university community. In the past edition fourteen projects were accepted that included collaborations with universities and educational organisations from countries such as Angola, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Turkey and Iran.

XLI call addressed to PDI and PAS members

This call aims to give support to initiatives created by administration and services staff, or by lecturers and researchers, which can contribute to understanding and transforming the causes and effects of global problems from a university perspective.

Two lines are open in this call: international cooperation for a global justice (including university cooperation projects implemented in countries of the Global South) and Education for a Global Justice (educational projects with a global justice perspective implemented at the UAB and addressed mainly to members of the UAB community).

The information session will take place online on Friday 26 January at 1:00 p.m. through Teams.
