Through the range of its activities, URGENT project has created impactn at several levels, including individual, organisational, local, national and international:

  • At the individual level, that included new learning, networking and career development opportunities for students, academics as well as technical, administrative staff and stakeholder representatives. This was achieved through new curricula created under URGENT, guest lecturers (including for teaching new curricula) coming to URGENT partners, URGENT academic and stakeholder-academia workshops and seminars and, what was noted as the most powerful boosters at the individual level - URGENT summer schools, short exchange visits to EU partners, and URGENT open science conferences (in Ahmedabad, India in 2022 and in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in 2023, please see an overview of URGENT events here).
