Abstract

Indigenous knowledge is crucial for coping with current global crises, such as climate change, the loss of biocultural diversity, and the rise of xenophobic nationalisms. This pivotal historical moment requires multicentred thinking and action, as well as bringing together the various kinds of indigenous and academic expertise. Universities are critically important in developing knowledge, education, and policy directives. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the EDGES project unites researchers from 18 European and American universities. Together, they will respectfully advance innovative, collaborative methodologies and new strategies to interweave indigenous knowledge in universities and policy-making institutions. Through symposia, workshops, mini-courses, open-access scientific publications, policy recommendations, and social media, EDGES aims to reshape education, policies, and scientific practices.
