Online Studies

We organise teaching exchange between partner institutes in the Global North and South. We cooperate with the International Program for Agricultural Development Studies (IPADS) and The Graduate School of Fronter Science at the University of Tokyo. Additionally, BIGS-DR alumni share their experience with current students in Online-workshops.

These offers take place as part of the Online Development Studies and Research Community (ODSRC) funded by DAAD IVAC.

Online Workshops

The ODSRC- Workshops support current doctoral students in their research and in their future career on a peer-to-peer level. ODSRC-workshops are open to students and alumni from all participating partner institutes. An interview with our alumna and ODSRC workshop lecturer Dr. Bibiana Betancur Corredor can be found in our alumni newsletter from 2021.

Contact us if you want to participate.

Online Courses

We offer eleven interactive, asynchronous courses produced in 2021 with lecturers from ZEF and IPADS. Online modules and workshops are only available for cooperation partners.
