Today, 18 June 2024, CORE-NbS was launched, bringing together 14 universities in Africa and Europe through a partnership between the African Research Universities Alliance and the Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities. CRADALL is represented in the cluster by Simon McGrath, who will be focusing particularly on researcher development and education/skills for climate change adaptation and mitigation. Glasgow is also represented through the School of Social and Environmental Sustainability.

CORE-NbS  is one of 20 such clusters, all of which have a 10-year commitment from the partner universities to explore how they build international research, action and future capacity to address key sustainable development challenges.
