About the LUGF
The LUGF was established to support the university’s ambition to forge and maintain valuable international partnerships in order to grow and make a global impact. This could mean innovative teaching projects and research activities with local outreach programmes. Or giving students and staff the opportunity to hone their knowledge in an international setting.
Annual seed fund
One of the LUGF’s crown jewels is its annual seed fund for regional collaboration. Small grants (up to 15,000 euros) encourage joint activities with selected partners in Africa, Asia and Latin America. There is a lot of potential for growth in these regions, and by collaborating intensively with academic and other institutions in the Global South we can take steps towards a better world.
