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.

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.
