Om netværket Globelics

Siden 2002 har forskningsnetværket Globelics (Global Network for Economics of Learning, Innovation, and Competence Building Systems) bidraget til at styrke forskningskapacitet inden for innovation og økonomisk udvikling i Afrika og en række andre regioner.

Globelics har hjemsted på Aalborg Universitet og støttes bl.a. af det “svenske Danida (Sida = Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency).

Indsatsen har til formål at øge forskningens kvalitet, støtte udviklingslandes infrastruktur for vidensopbygning/uddannelse, og give unge forskere fra udviklingslande adgang til globale forskningsressourcer, bl.a. ved at tilbyde deltagelse i PhD akademier med forskere indenfor innovation og udvikling.

Globelics har regionale afdelinger i Afrika, Asien, Latin Amerika, Middelhavsområdet og Europa (AfricaLics, AsiaLics, LaLics, MEDAlics og EuroLics,) og der findes nationale afdelinger i Kina (CicaLics) og Indien (IndiaLics). Globelics’ hjemmeside (www.globelics.org)  har omkring 2.000 registrerede brugere.

Globelics rummer væsentlige erfaringer til inspiration for danske universiteters engagement i Danida´s program “Building Stronger Universities in Developing Countries” og for samarbejde med forskere i udviklingslande generelt. 

Margrethe Holm Andersen vil fortælle om resultater og udfordringer i udviklingen af Globelics med særlig vægt på erfaringerne fra opbygningen af det afrikanske netværk, som har fået særlig støtte fra Sida siden 2013.

Der serveres kaffe og the under seminaret.

About Globelics

Since 2002, the research network GLOBELICS (Global Network for Economics of Learning, Innovation, and Competence Building Systems) has contributed to strengthen research capacity for innovation and economic development in Africa and a number of other regions.

GLOBELICS is based at Aalborg University and is supported among others by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). The objectives are to increase the quality of research, support the knowledge infrastructure in developing countries and to give young researchers from developing countries access to global research resources, e.g. by offering participation in PhD academies with researchers within the areas of innovation and development.

GLOBELICS has regional chapters in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Mediterranean and Europe (AfricaLics, AsiaLics, LaLics, MEDAlics and EuroLics,), and there are national chapters in China (CICLICS) and India (IndiaLics). The website of Globelics (www.globelics.org) has about 2,000 registered users.

GLOBELICS has important experiences which may inspire the activities of Danish universities within the DANIDA program Building Stronger Universities in Developing Countries and cooperation with researchers in developing countries at large. 

Margrethe Holm Andersen will tell about achievements and challenges in the development of GLOBELICS with particular emphasis on the experiences from building the African network, which has received a special support from SIDA since 2013.

Coffee and tea are served during the seminar.
