Implementation methodologies

The Online Global Platform for Poverty Alleviation, ""Cornerstones for Poverty Alleviation"", will be the biggest public catalog ever created to share information about poverty alleviation projects from higher education institutions. The Platform will become the reference point for research and knowledge on poverty alleviation among research centers, higher education centers and business schools, strengthening synergies and talent exchange. "Cornerstones for Poverty Alleviation" will serve as a source of information to create synergies through a Researchers' directory, the talent exchange, publications, and events calendar. It will provide research guidelines and documentation and spread and communicate projects to improve the results in the field. The University Network is formed by 140 Universities from 52 countries
