“…In a global effort to achieve universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy by 2030 as described in SDG7, it is not only necessary to mobilise financial resources for developing countries, but also to "enhance North-South, South-South and triangular regional and international cooperation on and access to science, technology and innovation and enhance knowledge sharing on mutually agreed terms" (UN General Assembly, 2015, p. 26). There have also been growing calls for capacity building and mobilization in Africa and the GS to develop and enhance the skills needed to tackle the climate change emergency and promote southern-led development agendas (Sokona, 2022), and meaningful local community engagement to democratise energy solutions implemented in the GS (Krantz, 2020).…”

Many researchers engaged in energy and development research are involved in collaborative projects with research partners in different countries. To ensure success, these collaborations must be inclusive and balanced. Researchers and multilateral organisations are starting to take notice of the potential negative impacts of unbalanced research collaborations. There is an urgent need for more scrutiny of the inequities in the research process and to create more inclusive environments that allow researchers from the Global South to contribute solutions for challenges in their local contexts. Through workshops and a survey of researchers engaged in energy and development research, this paper attempts to partially fill this gap by investigating the challenges in collaborative projects faced by researchers in the Global South and Global North. The main findings show significant differences in the research experience of the two groups of researchers with respect to administrative burdens, access to resources, research roles and communication. We present several recommendations for how to address the inequities in collaborative research projects.
