Centre for Global Equality
CGE evolves innovative solutions to challenges in sustainable development, particularly those relating to food, water, energy, health, income generation and the environment. Through its inclusive innovation approach, CGE mobilises the application of research findings, particularly those from science and technology, for the benefit of people who live on less than $5 a day, without harming the environment or the interests of future generations.
Bringing together collaborators from civil society, academia, government and business, CGE enables the co-creation of solutions with the people they are intended to benefit.
Teaching and research collaborations across the University are based out of the Cambridge Centre for Inclusive Innovation at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CEB).
Extracurricular innovation activities are run from an Inclusive Innovation Hub in central Cambridge where CGE’s Cultivator provides specialist incubator-style support for projects and enterprises focused on sustainable development.
CGE also collaborates with i-Teams (IfM) to co-deliver International i-Teams and Development i-teams where teams of students and post-docs explore how research findings and emerging technologies could enhance the lives of people living in low- and middle-income countries.
