This Year’s Grants Theme: Empowering Women and Girls

As a contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #5 ‘Gender Equality’, they dedicate this year’s MAXQDA #ResearchforChange grants program to the empowerment of women and girls in the areas of economic, social, political, cultural, legal and environmental participation. In recognition of the indispensable role of equal participation of men and women in all dimensions of development, they want to support young scientists conducting research in this area with 3 Research Grants totaling $1,650 each.
