Category: About the Global Academy

When The Global Academy was established an important aim was that over half of all members should identify as female. We're committed to boosting the visibility of important work by female researchers to support the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

A picture of the truly global nature of the Global Academy using data on the countries in which Global Academy researchers are working. As at February 2023 there are 575 researchers in the Global Academy and we are proud to say that they are working in 79 different countries.

Amidst the gloom of 2020 we achieved a breakthrough. Over 100 researchers in 40 countries built their own researcher pages at www.the­globalacademy.ac. Now that we have a wide cross-section of researchers sharing their contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we are ready to begin linking researchers to their research groups, labs and teams. Few researchers work alone and this is your chance to show us how the team you work with contribute to the SDGs.

Here is a short video (3 minutes) which explains what the Global Academy is all about. The problem the initiative is addressing, how it's going about it and where it's going next.
