Call for proposals: AGREC 2020-21

Posted August 17, 2020

We are delighted to announce the launch of a new and exciting initiative, The Atlanta Global Research and Education Collaborative (AGREC) and funding available through this new collective. 

Housed within the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC), AGREC is comprised of five universities:

• AGSC, a partnership of Georgia Tech and Georgia State University
• Emory University’s Office of Global Strategy and Initiatives 
• Agnes Scott College’s SUMMIT Center for Global Learning and Leadership Development
• Spelman College’s Gordon Zeto Center for Global Education

AGREC seeks to build and strengthen collaborative networks of multi-institutional scholars and practitioners to support global research and education initiatives in the Greater Atlanta region.

Due: October 10, 2020

AGREC invites scholars to submit collaborative projects across disciplines, institutions, and universities that address a need in our global and local communities. This call aims to address topics with a global connection while being grounded locally. Scholars and practitioners may examine a local and global problem in the form of research, workshop, forum, or suggest another approach by collaborating with an organization in Atlanta or a population group that has a global dimension.

Preference will be given to innovative, transformative collaborative research and education projects in global engagement with significant emphasis on their potential to develop new and strategic sustainable relationships among partners (e.g. universities, companies, NGOs, community organizations) and their impact on Atlanta communities.
