Programs and projects

CFGS collaborates on projects across faculties and departments as well as with communities, practitioners, partners, and universities around the globe. These projects reflect the main research areas of CFGS. Their research, events, and publications foster interdisciplinary networks, making boundary-pushing research accessible to policy makers, researchers, and the wider community beyond the halls of CFGS. The faculty, staff, and researchers involved in these projects occupy the offices and are an integral part of the centre's day to day activities.
