The special initiative seeks to build upon the ‘Cultures of Decolonisation of Research at UCL’ workstream to support activities that can advance understanding, adoption, and impact of decolonisation in research initiatives. It provides an opportunity for research across UCL to identify topics that require cross-disciplinary attention as a basis for further research, for problematising current debates, and for considering critical issues. 

Project proposals are asked to focus on models for decolonisation of research or ethics of research, with supported activities encouraging engagement and movement that builds from the findings of the Cultures of Decolonisation at UCL report.
