Ghana / Sussex Funding Opportunities
Sussex-Ghana Strategic Fund
We are closely monitoring the global Covid-19 pandemic. Due to uncertainty around travel restrictions between the UK and Ghana and associated risks, we have taken the decision to suspend the Sussex-Ghana Strategic Fund for 2021/22. We hope to offer it again in 2022/23, any inconvenience caused by this decision is deeply regretted.
The Sussex-Ghana Strategic Fund is designed to cultivate research and teaching collaboration between staff at the University of Sussex and the University of Ghana, addressing global challenges and building capacity at both Universities.
