Call for Proposals: Catalyzing Curriculum Change

Catalyzing curriculum change at universities in sub-Saharan Africa – Open until 1 November 2022

Do you want to be part of developing new, online postgraduate courses, modules, and educational resources in areas related to urban transport and mobility at universities in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)? The Volvo Research and Educational Foundations (VREF) welcomes applications for grants to catalyze curriculum change in these areas.

Through this call VREF invites applications for grants to support the development of new, online postgraduate courses, modules, and educational resources specifically in areas related to urban transport and mobility at universities in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).


The call is an opportunity for scholars and teachers in sub-Saharan Africa to contribute to renewing university-based education, while also strengthening knowledge and capacity among the next generation of SSA researchers and practitioners.

The call is a pilot initiative within the MAC programme and, if the initiative is successful, VREF foresees issuing a series of similar calls on an annual basis over the next few years.

Deadline for submission of applications is 1 November 2022.
