Context
A maximum of eight (8) PhD researchers will be selected to present their work through a webinar format to reach a wide variety of audiences globally. There will be a conscious effort to ensure gender parity and equal representation by researchers in the global South and global North.
The webinar series has been designed to foster the exchange among academics, practitioners and policy makers on ongoing research in ALL. Preliminary findings should point to potential impact at the policy and practitioner levels and be communicated in lay language. Preference will be given to late stage PhD Students who have already defined their approach (even if incompletely) and obtained significant results (e.g., that might already have been published).
