This question requires an answer
1. Thank you for your interest in participating in this research.
This research is being carried out by students as part of our Grand Challenges programme at the University of Exeter. The Grand Challenges programme is designed to provide undergraduate students at the University of Exeter with the opportunity to work in interdisciplinary research groups. Students work with our top academics along with inspirational word leading experts to produce solutions and ideas to address some of the key challenges of our time. Each group of students produces an output that is presented to other students at the end of the week. In the past, students have created a variety of outputs including presentations, posters, policy documents, videos and social media campaigns. Quotes and statistics collected as part of this research may be included in the students’ final output.
The global challenges students are working on in 2019 are climate change, global security, mental health, food for thought, gender inequality and environmental harm. The activity that you are participating in relates to the following theme: ___________gender inequality________________________________.
