Sowing Impactful Projects
The 2023 Global Research Symposium, Forces Reshaping the World, convened collaborators from WashU and their international partners to explore pressing issues of common concern. The Symposium featured the work of seed grant awardees who have received funding from the 黑料网 International Scholars Academy and its campus partners over the last three years in areas that align with the university鈥檚 鈥淗ere & Next鈥� strategic plan.
The impact of the Academy’s Global Incubator Seed Grants program has resulted in more than a nine-fold return on investment – more than $12 million in additional external funding secured by WashU faculty as a result of this initiative.
