Developing breakthrough solutions to alleviate global poverty requires a sustained commitment and partnership. Seed has both.
In addition to training owners of established businesses in low- and middle-income countries and inspiring Stanford students, Seed is collaborating with the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy and Research to support and fund the Stanford Center on Global Poverty and Development, a university-wide research center dedicated to improving the lives of the world’s poor.
From health to trade, governance to entrepreneurship, the center stimulates and supports research to make a difference in the world.
The center brings together faculty and students from across the university — all schools and institutes — to create an environment where diverse perspectives, disciplines, and methodologies can be applied to poverty-related topics and issues. Focused on global, collaborative, and data-driven research that can make a real-world impact, the Center’s goal is to accelerate research and share it with thought leaders and policy makers who are shaping policy and practice in the developing world.
