The International Development Department, University of Birmingham has won funding in DFID’s Future of Aid and Beyond Research Competition 2010-11. This research window is expected to prepare for future challenges and opportunities, identify and better understand fast-emerging issues, such as the rise of newly powerful economies, engage with some of the best new ideas and help prepare for future 'unknowns'.
