Introduction

The BRITAE project helps to share the knowledge and develop new strategies for resilience building, which is the need of the hour. BRITAE claims that the knowledge gap is significant and skewed in favor of developed countries as developing countries struggle from a lack of both financial and human resources in research and innovation. They need to advance their capability to produce knowledge domestically and absorb the knowledge for the capacity building in the field of higher education. This can happen when human resources are trained in adequate numbers and an institutional framework to carry out research and innovation activities is created. Hence, ‘BRITAE’ address some of the most pressing issues for researchers and universities, in the context of developing and sustaining research capacity of graduates into a professional career in the field of ecological resilience building.
