Professor Lee Receives UC Davis Global Affairs’ Seed Grant for International Activities

UC Davis Global Affairs has selected Professor Peter Lee as the recipient of a Seed Grant for International Activities.

Lee’s grant-awarded research project, “Legal and Policy Frameworks to Promote Socially Responsive Innovation in a Globalized World,” involves collaborations with Seoul National University, Korea University, and the University of Hong Kong, and it examines how various jurisdictions seek to increase the social benefits, decrease the social harms, and improve the distributional impacts of significant expenditures on innovation.

Partnering with UC Davis colleges and schools, the Office of Research and the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Global Affairs provides Seed Grants for International Activities to faculty taking on innovative research, service and engagement projects around the world.

Seed Grant projects foster long-term international research collaborations, create innovations in internationalizing the curriculum in support of the Global Education for All initiative, and grow or build global partnerships. Since 2001, the program has supported more than 290 diverse projects, generating significant international partnerships, research outcomes and external funding.
