Two main lines

8 februari 2006

In the new strategic period WOTRO will finance research along two main lines, focusing on research with relevance for problems in developing countries in a broad sense


The WOTRO Board has taken to heart the main issues put forward in consultations of the WOTRO constituency: not to focus exclusively on themes and thus to guarantee opportunities for ‘innovative’ research, and not to adhere to the Millennium Development Goals-agenda (MDG) too strictly.

In the new strategic period the two main research lines are:

  1. Research on topics within four overarching themes
  2. ‘Free’ research, to generate innovative ideas and new insights of relevance for (policies on) problems in developing countries in a broad sense.
