GCUA 2030 connects with future researchers at Science and Innovation Forum in Rome
GCUA 2030 was represented at the Science and Innovation Forum in Rome, where discussions with students and academic representatives highlighted growing interest in international collaboration, doctoral training and opportunities linked to the SDGs.
Thanks to one of our member universities, University of Galway, and its focal points Una Murray and Peter McKeown, GCUA 2030 was well represented at the Science and Innovation Forum held in Rome as part of the World Food Forum. The World Food Forum is hosted by UN Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO, to emphasise global challenges within food systems.
Bridging research and practice to empower next generation of researchers
The GCUA 2030 booth showcased how the network connects research, education, and international collaboration to drive sustainable development. Visitors could explore initiatives such as international PhD courses, webinars, and interdisciplinary research challenges that build skills in systems thinking, intercultural collaboration, and research impact.
The forum generated a great interest from participants keen to engage with GCUA 2030 in different ways, both joining as members, but also taking part in courses and other PhD training opportunities.
The forum provided a valuable opportunity to raise awareness of GCUA 2030, connect with prospective participants and explore new avenues for collaboration across institutions and regions.
