Scaling science in action: IDRC launches free online course

Every year, billions of dollars are invested in promising solutions to global challenges. Many go on to transform communities and improve lives. Yet, many miss opportunities to scale their impact.

IDRC’s new Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Scaling impact for sustainable development offers a practical roadmap to help solutions reach their full potential. Developed with global experts and hosted by the SDG Academy, this free course offers guiding principles, tools and case studies grounded in the experience of innovators across the Global South.

Whether you are a researcher, practitioner, funder, policymaker or student, this course will help you navigate scaling impact in uncertain and real-world contexts, placing people, communities and the planet at the centre.

Read on to see how you can start learning now and be part of a global effort to turn promising ideas into solutions that improve lives at scale.

Scaling Impact for Sustainable Development


This free course from IDRC, based on 50+ years of experience, is available on the SDG Academy, a program of the UN’s Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

Why scaling science?


Scaling science is borne of the belief that we can be more systematic and scientific about the way we scale, and that by doing so we increase the likelihood that our research will effect meaningful change.
