As part of Commonwealth Week 2026, the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) will host a one-hour webinar showcasing the research of King’s Commonwealth Fellowship Programme (KCFP) PhD Fellows who will be in London during the week.
The session will provide ACU member universities with:
• direct insight into cutting-edge, policy-relevant doctoral research being undertaken across the Commonwealth
• a deeper understanding of the KCFP model and how it supports system-level change in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and other vulnerable contexts
• an opportunity to engage with Fellows as future collaborators, partners, and leaders within the Commonwealth higher education ecosystem.
This webinar responds directly to that need by showcasing how:
- Commonwealth universities are co-producing knowledge across borders, particularly between the UK and SIDS
- doctoral research can inform policy, practice and innovation, not just academic debate
- universities play a central role in climate resilience, health systems, energy transition, digital skills and sustainable development
- structured mobility programmes like KCFP strengthen institutional partnerships, supervisory capacity, and leadership pipelines
When
10th Mar 2026 from 12:00 PM to 1:15 PM
