Research
Alongside our Placements & Bursaries Programmes, the EWB-UK Research Programme is one of our most direct contributions to alleviating poverty across the globe by creating greater links between academic institutions and partner organisations working in the development sector through research.
In Brief
The EWB-UK Research Programme provides the research skills of our volunteers – and hence the facilities of the institutions they study at – as a resource for development organisations. By working with them to turn identified technical issues into research briefs, we can offer research projects to researchers that are useful, exciting and relevant and that fit into academic degrees.
