The Columbia University Partnership for International Development (CUPID), is a student-led initiative across Columbia University to facilitate multidisciplinary dialogue, awareness and action in the field of international development and relief. == History == In the Fall of 2004,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History - Columbia University Partnership for International Development )〕 two social work students from the Columbia University School of Social Work began generating interest for a Columbia-wide conference on multidisciplinary perspectives on issues pertaining to international development. This resulted in the 2005 conference titled "Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Armed Conflict and Forced Migration". The conference was coordinated by a multidisciplinary team of student leaders from the Columbia University School of Social Work, Columbia University Law School, and the Mailman School of Public Health. This collaboration led to the inception of the Columbia University Partnership for International Development. Student representatives across the ten Columbia graduate schools were recruited in order to establish an academic partnership across fields that would continue to inform their work as they became professionals. The underlying hypothesis of this assumption was that the experience would better equip students to develop and implement effective, innovative, and holistic approaches to challenges faced in international development. Within a year, CUPID organized twelve multidisciplinary forums, co-sponsored six events, facilitated a conference on "Urbanization in the Developing World", sent five students to Central America as part of a multidisciplinary community development team, and coordinated 20 internships with the United Nations Development Programme. Influential organizations that helped found the Columbia Partnership for International Development included: The Earth Institute, The Africa Institute, The Columbia Alumni Association, The President and Provost's Student Event Fund, and the Open Society Foundations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Columbia University Partnership for International Development」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
