Kapacitetsuppbyggnad av Svensk-Etiopiskt internationellt samarbete Building Fair Swedish-Ethiopian University Partnerships Syftet med ansökningen är att etablera ett internationellt nätverk mellan akademiker från Göteborgs Universitets utbildningsvetenskapliga fakultet och Mekelle Universitet i Etiopien utbildningsfakultet för att utveckla ett gemensamt långsiktigt och hållbart forskningsprojekt inom internationalisering och kapacitetsuppbyggnad för forskarutbildningar.Nätverkets mål under 2019 - 2020 är att utföra fokusgruppdiskussioner i både Etiopien och Sverige för att identifiera fördelar och nackdelar med internationellt samarbete. Dessa diskussioner ger underlag för att först och främst skapa en förståelse och etablering av ett jämlikt och rättvist internationellt samarbete samt för att ge ett underlag för förståelse av vilket behov av stöd till kapacitetsuppbyggnad för forskarutbildning och forskning som efterfrågas.För att skapa denna förståelse kommer följande frågor att belysas, 1) På vilket sätt kan ett rättvist internationellt samarbete skapas mellan Mekelle universitet och Göteborgs universitet? 2) Hur upplever etiopiska akademiker internationella samarbeten? 3) Hur uppfattar etiopiska akademiker de personliga och yrkesmässiga fördelar och utmaningar som uppstår vid deltagande i internationella samarbeten?De preliminära resultaten från fokusgruppdiskussionerna kommer att presenteras på internationella konferenser och genom en gemensamt skriven forskningsartikel. En gemensam forskningsprojektansökan kommer också att utarbetas och lämnas in för att säkerställa en fortsättning och utveckling av nätverket. This network joins scholars from the Faculty of Education at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden and from the College of Social Sciences and Languages at Mekelle University, Ethiopia to build a fair international university partnership in higher education.During 2019-2020 the network aims to conduct focus groups during working stays in Sweden and Ethiopia to identify the challenges and benefits of international partnerships. The network scholars will explore African academics’ perspectives with the following questions: 1) In what ways can a sense of fairness be bolstered within an international partnership between Ethiopian and Swedish universities? 2) How do Ethiopian academics perceive the benefits and challenges of international partnerships to their institutions? 3) How do Ethiopian academics perceive their personal and professional benefits and challenges from participating in international partnerships?The preliminary findings from these focus groups will be disseminated at an international conference and by submission of a joint research paper. A joint research project application will also be prepared and submitted to ensure the continuation of the network.By emphasizing African academics’ perspectives, the network initiates a balanced research paradigm in the short term. In the long term, findings from research in the network will provide recommendations for policy, teaching, and research practice to bolster fairness in international higher education partnerships.
Att hitta nya vägar för P. falciparum malaria att ta sig in i röda blodkroppar Finding new ways for the P. falciparum malaria parasite to invade red blood cells Malaria kills almost one million people every year. The symptoms include fever, anemia and sometimes death. P. falciparum is the parasite that is responsible for most of the deaths. It is a major contribution to children?s high morbidity and mortality in countries like Uganda. There is no vaccine and resistance against medications is an increasing problem. The parasites live inside erythrocytes where they multiply, and every 48 hours new mini-parasites, so called merozoites, exit the bursting old erythrocytes and enter new erythrocytes. We want to study the process of invasion into new erythrocytes. If we know exactly which proteins the merozoites bind to, we can use this in creating a vaccine or in forming new drugs. We will use combinations of parasites with defined invasion pathways or merozoite antigen knock-out parasites together with erythrocytes that lack specific antigens on their surface, or antibodies against these antigens. We will combine our own expertise of malaria with our collaborator?s expertise in erythrocyte variants, and we believe that this can create totally new opportunities to find new ways of invasion for the P. falciparum parasites. This knowledge is urgently needed to be able to make a vaccine against malaria. Att hitta nya vägar för P. falciparum malaria att ta sig in i röda blodkroppar Malaria dödar nästan en miljon människor om året. Man får feber och blodbrist och kan till slut dö av sjukdomen. Det finns inget vaccin och parasiternas ökade motståndskraft mot de mediciner som finns är ett stort problem. Många av de som dör är människor i fattiga delar av världen. Ett exempel är Uganda, vilket är ett land som vi har samarbete med, där malaria är en av de främsta orsakerna till att så många små barn dör. Malariaparasiterna lever inuti röda blodkroppar i blodet. Efter två dygn har de växt till sig så mycket att de röda blodkropparna ?sprängs?, och ut kommer små miniparasiter som fäster till nya röda blodkroppar och de tar sig in i dessa. Vilka molekyler på de röda blodkropparnas yta som malariaparasiterna använder sig av för att ta sig in, är till stora delar okänt och vi vill hitta nya vägar för detta. Om vi kan hitta de molekyler som är viktiga för malariaparasiterna, så kan vi stoppa parasiterna från att ta sig in i blodkropparna. Detta kan man sedan använda sig av för att tillverka ett vaccin mot malaria eller i nya mediciner.

1. KFUM: STRONGER TOGETHER 2.  Björkåfrihet: Understanding Active Citizenship of Palestinian Youth Across Borders 1. KFUM: STRONGER TOGETHER: 2.  Björkåfrihet: Understanding Active Citizenship of Palestinian Youth Across Borders 1. KFUM: Decades of ongoing conflict and a volatile and economic political situation has put women´s rights and the democratic development in Palestine on the back foot. This  is especially evident in marginalized communities such as refugee camps where
conservative values are more prevailing and opportunities are scarcer. Therefore, this project seeks to empower young Palestinian women to increase their political participation and increase women’s influence in their community. We will do this by working with locally elected women and young women in 3 refugee camps in the west bank. The targeted young women and YWCA of Palestine will produce guidelines political and support national advocacy for increasing women’s representation and participation in Palestinian politics.
2. Björkåfrihet: Palestinian youth is a highly marginalised group within a fragmented society with dysfunctional participatory and engagement mechanisms. The voices of Palestinian youth are not heard which is both a democratic problem and a neglect of their
human rights. Through this project an inclusive and highly participatory survey among Palestinian youth in different locations will be carried out. The youth will then be involved to make sense of the differences and similarities of the challenges and obstacles for effective active citizenship. Tools will be created to disseminate the findings and information to international and Palestinian civil society, as well as duty bearers with the intention to increase understanding of youth perspectives and lay the foundations for a more inclusive approach. 1. KFUM: Projektet syftar till att öka de palestinska kvinnornas möjligheter att delta i politiska processer och påverka sina lokala samhällen, främst i tre flyktingläger i Västbanken med fokus på lokala folkkommittéer. 
2. Projektet syftar till att undersöka hur palestinska ungdomar i flera länder i MENA regionen uppfattar sina möjligheter till aktivt politiskt deltagande. Projektets resultat kommer att spridas till palestinska och internationella civilsamhällesorganisationer samt beslutsfattare i form av bland annat infografik, videomaterial och påverkanskampanjer.
