Through the Cooperation & Development Center (CODEV), EPFL aims to promote and strengthen scientific cooperation for development between researchers at EPFL and EPFL partner institutions in emerging and developing countries.
With this in mind, CODEV established the Seed Money programme, which aims to financially support the launch of cooperation projects by researchers in all scientific disciplines at EPFL, in partnership with academic institutions in the global South.
Since 2005, more than 70 projects have been funded!
