Through #collaboration with the Tikuna community, Fátima & Lina are tackling vector-borne diseases in the Colombian Amazon. Their decolonial approach emphasises respect for Indigenous knowledge, aiming for sustainable, non-extractive healthcare practices. #GlobalLunch

“Smart solutions for better #watermanagement in #Africa”. For over 30 years, Nick van de Giesen has worked with African partners to develop accessible water solutions. Read about his work in Pioneering Tech, the TU Delft magazine on radical #innovation: tudelft.nl/en/innovation-…

Time flies when you are having fun… literally! Today it is already time for the last #GlobalLunch of 2024. We are happy to welcome our community back to dive deeper into #GlobalDevelopmentResearch with speakers Guus Wiersma and Indushree Banerjee.

Guus Wiersma just visited #Tamale and shared updates on the #collaboration on water projects, from weather and climate data to agriculture and decentralised water treatment, between TU Delft and the University of Development Studies Tamale in #Ghana. #GlobalLunch

At the #GlobalLunch, Guus talked about the joint supervision of TU Delft ‌and UDS & co-organisation of conference sessions, like the UN2023 Water Conference in #NewYork. UDS is also a partner in the #GROW program, highlighting the importance of such strong partnerships.

Can Agent-Based Models reshape tiger conservation? Indushree Banerjee's research in #Nepal integrates #climate data and community knowledge to study human-wildlife conflict in buffer zones. She shared how her work aims to shape effective, inclusive policies. #GlobalLunch

Indushree's research shows how #scale choices in models (meters vs. kilometers, days vs. years) can alter conservation outcomes. By bridging #models and community insights, she is aiming for smarter strategies in tiger and habitat protection. #GlobalLunch

Welcome back to the first #GlobalLunch of the new year! We hope you all enjoyed the holidays and are ready for a deep dive into #GlobalDevelopmentResearch with today's speakers Stefan Gzyl & Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology partners dr. Yen Adams Sokama-Neuyam & prof. David Ato Quansah.

At the #GlobalLunch, Stefan Gzyl explored how migrants' left-behind properties in #Caracas are maintained, used, and transformed amidst the ongoing crisis, revealing insights into depopulation and urban transformation. #UrbanStudies #Migration

In 2024, Stefan Gzyl went on academic trips to #Bogota & #Caracas. He shared how these trips provided him with critical perspectives, enriching his research on the dynamics of migrant spaces and urban change. #Fieldwork #AcademicResearch

Prof. Yen Adams Sokama-Neuyam spoke about transitioning Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology from a Green Campus to a Green University, aiming to be one of the first African universities to achieve net-zero emissions. TU Delft and KNUST are setting up joint research projects connecting to KNUST's ambition.

In light of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology's green ambitions, Prof. David Ato Quansah explored the political economy of land acquisition for large-scale solar PV projects in #Ghana, shedding light on the complexities of renewable energy development. #GlobalLunch

In yesterday's first #GlobalLunch of 2025, Stefan Gzyl spoke on migrant spaces in Caracas, #Venezuela, and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology's Dr. Sokama-Neuyam & Prof. Quansah talked about sustainability at their university & solar energy in #Ghana.

Our Global Fellow Ruth Nelson shares the first version of MAP, an open-source tool for mapping accessibility through an equity-driven approach to #urbanplanning. Learn more: github.com/RuthJNelson/MA… #UrbanPlanning #MobilityJustice #OpenSource

Welcome to the #GlobalLunch! We are set for another session with the community to talk about #GlobalDevelopmentResearch. Speakers Tamara Egger, #GROW PhD'ers Rock Segnon & Emeka Eneogwe, and Job Schroën will share their insights on various topics!

How do communities self-organize shared resources in a circular way across diverse urban settings? Tamara Egger’s transdisciplinary PhD research at TU Delft explores “Circular Commons” by integrating grassroots circular networks with formal sustainability approaches. #GlobalLunch

Tamara shared how her research highlights circular networks that have long sustained urban circularity but now face pressure from top-down policies. In #AddisAbaba, her fieldwork visibilises the invisible, integrating local insights into global sustainability. #GlobalLunch

The new cohort of 51 #GROW PhD candidates started arriving last fall! With 24 now at TU Delft, they are already tackling global challenges through research. In the upcoming #GlobalLunches, they will pitch their projects, giving us a glimpse into their work for the coming years.

Rock Segnon & Emeka Eneogwe kicked off our new initiative, sharing insights into their PhD research. Rock spoke about Electric Mobility and Energy Systems in #SubSaharanAfrica, and Emeka discussed Nature-based Solution for Decentralized Domestic Greywater Treatment in #Ghana.

From 11 – 14 February, the faculty of Architecture and Engineering are welcoming a very special guest: Yasmeen Lari, #Pakistan's first female architect and a pioneer in sustainable, low-cost, and zero-carbon housing. At the #GlobalLunch, Job Schroën talked about her work.
