About LIDC

OUR MISSION

We harness the expertise of our members to provide ‘new knowledge’ solutions to the complex challenges impacting the world’s most vulnerable citizens.

Our research is transformative, disruptive and world-leading. Our partnerships are equitable, durable and sustainable.

We accelerate the impact and reach of this work via our extensive and long-standing networks of partners from civil society organisations, governments and the commercial sector, to non-profits and the communities themselves.

OUR OBJECTIVES

  • To create opportunities and skills for interdisciplinary collaboration amongst academics and postgraduate students and in the broader development community.
  • To facilitate development and funding of interdisciplinary research programmes which generate published research outputs of high international significance and impact.
  • To improve international development policy and practice by facilitating academic engagement with governments, civil society, the private sector and international organisations.
  • To facilitate the design and delivery of new learning and training activities which support interdisciplinary approaches to global development challenges.
  • To build effective and equitable international, interdisciplinary partnerships in research, training and related activities.

OUR RESEARCH

LIDC supports research in many countries across the world.

Our researchers are deeply engaged across a range of critical issues in international development from climate change, globalisation and the growing levels of inequality, to food insecurity, health and humanitarian crises.

We add value via our unique approach to interdisciplinarity which starts with innovation and design thinking, moves on to unpacking complexity to identify new approaches/solutions and ends with identifying and understanding impacts.

Our research is organised across the following areas:

Innovation

Food

Health

Poverty and Inequality

Climate

Risk

Resilience

Impact

Public Engagement

We are also deeply engaged with the end-users of our research from the communities themselves to practitioners and other actors.
