Academics Without Borders (AWB) is looking for project ideas to improve and expand higher education in developing nations.

The non-governmental Canadian organization, of which Brock University is a member, has put a call out for project proposals that focus on a number of areas, such as health, teaching and learning methodology, various academic disciplines, student services and back office operations.

A list of current and previous projects, which may provide inspiration for future proposals, is available on the Academics Without Borders website.

AWB carries out its mission by supporting projects in institutions of higher education in developing countries and by working with talented and committed people there who are initiating and sustaining institutional growth and change. It does this by sending volunteers from Canada and other countries to support these local initiatives.

For more information on the proposal submission process, visit Brock International’s website.

Project proposals must be submitted to Corrie Young at cyoung@awb-usf.org or Dominique Van de Maele at dvandemaele@awb-usf.org by Nov. 26.
