ELRHA is the first collaborative network dedicated to supporting partnerships between Higher Education institutions in the UK and humanitarian organisations and partners around the world. The ELRHA project opens up the UK Academic community to humanitarian agencies and individual practitioners, bringing new opportunities for research and development partnerships that can improve and support humanitarian work in both short-term response settings and longer-term research programmes that focus on core humanitarian challenges. In this way the ELRHA project can be viewed as a process innovation for the humanitarian sector, making available a powerful ally and a wealth of new resources that can help identify, frame, investigate and find solutions to the humanitarian challenges of today and those anticipated in the future.
