“More Women in Research”, now in Asia: The importance of mentors and allies
The “More Women in Research” movement has made its way to Asia. A seminar was held in Hanoi, Vietnam, on 9–10 April 2025. The seminar brought together 30 Danida-funded researchers from Vietnam, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Denmark to exchange insights and strategies for advancing gender equity in research and academia. A key focus was the critical role of mentorship.

Cross-continental research supports pregnant women with gestational diabetes
The Danida-funded VALID II research project shows that informal support is vital in helping women manage gestational diabetes. These findings come from a long collaborative partnership between clinical researchers and anthropologists from Vietnam and Denmark.

Denmark allocates approximately 200 million DKK each year to development research projects, creating new knowledge and building partnerships between Danish researchers and counterparts across the Global South.
