MAXQDA Research Grants
Supporting students conducting fieldwork for
sustainability and sustainable development research projects
MAXQDA Research Grants is a VERBI Software initiative that seeks to support researchers, research projects, and networks for research collaboration. As a part of this initiative, the #ResearchforChange Grant was created to offer financial support and methodological training to student-researchers whose fieldwork aims to study, bring awareness to, and contribute to empowerment initiatives. Aligned with one of VERBI Software’s core company values, this semester’s grant theme is sustainability and sustainable development.
Aligned with this semester’s theme, VERBI Software is very happy to announce that we will be partnering with the Global Nature Fund (GNF) for this semester’s grant!
The Global Nature Fund is is a non-profit, private, independent international foundation that works to support the protection of environment and nature. The GNF’s mission is to foster the protection of nature and environment. To do so, the GNF focuses on initiating and carrying out environmental protection projects for animals and their habitats/migratory routes; developing model projects for the promotion of sustainable economy; publishing articles and organizing events dealing with the protection of nature and environment; and promoting international conventions on species protection.
