Our social responsibility
Promoting knowledge in LMICs
Strengthening health research capacity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is a driver of development, but LMICs face a persistent shortage of experienced researchers, limited career opportunities and intense competition for scarce resources. OSRC’s workshops are designed to give junior researchers meaningful learning experiences, in a safe, inclusive and equitable environment, where they:
- develop as people, professionals and leaders in their communities;
- explore, take risks, and push boundaries;
- build resiliency through overcoming challenges;
- appreciate the perspectives of others and understand sustainability.
Through workshops, mentorship and engaging researchers from LMICs in OSRC’s research teams, we contribute to knowledge dissemination and catalyse development where it’s needed most.
Social responsibility and ethics
Social responsibility holds that individuals and organisations are accountable for their civic duty, balancing economic growth against the welfare of society and the environment. Corporate social responsibility is the idea that a business has a responsibility to the society around it: a form of self-regulation expressed through an organisation’s initiatives and strategy.
