Sida’s global research programmes

5.2 Achieved Outputs and Outcomes

In 2014, ISP supported 40 research groups and 20 scientific networks, spending about 26,000,000 SEK (Table 7). In total, 39% was transferred for local use, and ISP paid 61% on request (see 5.2.1). Groups and networks reported 277 active PhD students, and 550 postgraduate students training for MSc, MPhil or Licentiate degrees, most of them benefiting directly or indirectly from ISP support. About 39% of the PhD students, and 4% of the Master students, were trained in sandwich programs. On average, 29% of the students were female. In total, 36 PhD and 148 MSc (etc.) students graduated (see 5.2.2). The research groups and networks disseminated almost 500 scientific papers as publications or at conferences, and arranged 78 meetings attended by more than 7,500 participants (see 5.2.3).

*A few students are full-time with host supervisors. Those are not listed separately, but together with sandwich students to distinguish them from students trained locally.

**In Section 6.4.1, entries are listed by countries where presentations are made. In Table 7, figures regard the region of origin of the contributing research group/network. In six cases two groups/networks share a contribution, counted twice here, but not in Section 6.4.1.
