Seed Money grants promoting technology applications in the global South.
The Seed Money Program of the Cooperation and Development Center (CODEV) was established in 2005 aiming at encouraging scientific cooperation with partners in the global South through grants awarded in a competitive annual call.
With nine calls launched so far (2006-2014), the program has funded 73 projects from EPFL researchers with partners in more than 30 different countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe with a total of 721’412 CHF granted so far. The projects have promoted technology applications responding to the needs of local communities in Southern countries.
During this first Seed Money Conference, the results achieved and impact generated by the funded projects will be presented, and the overall experience of EPFL researchers and their partners participating in the program will be discussed. Also, the Seed Money Call 2015 will be officially launched.
The conference will be followed by lunch for participants. The event is free of charge, but registration is mandatory since places are limited.
