Triple I research methodologies

Engaging with Your Context as a Researcher

Welcome to the annual GROW Community 2-day event! This year, we will delve into methodologies designed to help researchers generate real-world value. Our event will feature introductions to these methodologies, followed by hands-on workshops where you can apply them in practice.

In addition, we will explore our role as researchers in understanding and addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in low and middle-income countries. In this rapidly changing geopolitical context, it is crucial for us to position ourselves as an internationally operating research community. To this end, we have organized a keynote lecture and a debate on how we can effectively navigate and contribute to global research efforts.
