Global Cornell is offering competitive faculty grants in collaboration with several Global Hubs partners. Apply for funding to explore potential research and teaching collaborations with colleagues at Hubs universities.
These seed grants have been established to bring faculty from partner institutions together to develop joint projects that will strengthen Cornell and Global Hubs partner universities' strategic priorities and develop multidisciplinary cutting-edge research and curriculum to create academic and societal impact.

Imperial College London and Cornell Research Networking Workshops
