Research4Life

ASCE has partnered with Research4Life, a global initiative aimed at reducing the knowledge gap between high-income and low-and-middle-income countries by providing access to critical scientific research. This initiative aligns with ASCE’s commitment to foster inclusive growth and development in the field of civil engineering. This collaboration will help break down the barriers that prevent talented researchers from participating fully in the global exchange of knowledge. By sharing our resources, we can empower more individuals to contribute to the advancement of civil engineering worldwide.

What is Research4Life?

Research4Life is a partnership of five UN agencies*, WHO, FAO, UNEP, WIPO, ILO, Cornell and Yale Universities, the International Association of Scientific, Technical & Medical Publishers and up to 200 international publishers. Research4Life‘s mission is to build an inclusive, diverse and equitable scholarly communications environment by delivering free or low-cost access and user-focused training and resources to researchers in low- and middle-income countries.
