Welcome to UTU Global South Network!
Our aim is to bring together the various experts who focus on issues concerning Global South here at the University of Turku.
In addition to getting to know each other and the ongoing projects, the purpose is to create opportunities to embark on joint, interdisciplinary research projects, and promote the existing research. Currently, our network consists of ~60 researchers ranging from postgraduates to professors – and the aim is to expand.
You are welcome to join us!
