The second Issue of the Journal of Adult Education is launched at a time when communities on the African continent and beyond continue to experience difficult, and often extremely harsh, socioeconomic issues. We live in a time of unprecedented climate change which is affecting farmers worldwide and limiting food production. In addition to this, the war in Ukraine has had a devastating impact on supplies and prices globally.

Join us online for this hybrid panel discussion on climate change - its impact on growth, human rights, inequality and ecology, and the transformations that come with mitigation and abatement.

Today, 18 June 2024, CORE-NbS was launched, bringing together 14 universities in Africa and Europe through a partnership between the African Research Universities Alliance and the Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities. CRADALL is represented in the cluster by Simon McGrath, who will be focusing particularly on researcher development and education/skills for climate change adaptation and mitigation. Glasgow is also represented through the School of Social and Environmental Sustainability.

We are delighted to be holding a R&D workshop from 1-4 June to support the establishment of our first R&D board within the Ministry of Education in Kurdistan. With the invaluable support of colleagues from ten UK universities, we are aiming  to create a highly influential board that will drive impactful research, fostering societal and economic advancements.
