Call for applications: Utrecht Winter School on Earth System Governance 2018

Expires on

The earth system governance research community is at a crossroads. The existing Science and Implementation Plan has provided useful guidance to the research community for the past decade. However, it is due to be replaced with a new research plan at the 2018 Utrecht Conference on Earth System Governance. What have we achieved so far and what new themes and debates can we expect over the next ten years? It is time to take stock of research findings and engage with the new research agenda that has started to emerge.

The 2018 Utrecht Winter School on Earth System Governance will take place between 31 October and 4 November. It is designed to function as an incubator for early career researchers working with the new earth system governance research agenda. The aim is to critically reflect on the new research agenda and start taking it forward by facilitating early career researchers’ work connected to this agenda.

The Winter School is immediately followed by the 2018 Utrecht Conference on Earth System Governance, held 5-7 November, in order to allow participants in the Winter School to also take part in the Utrecht Conference (separate conference registration is required).

Certificate:

Participants will receive a certificate for completing the course. The Winter School is equivalent to 2 credits in the European academic Credit Transfer System. If required, participants should get these credits approved through their own university or graduate school.

Application:

Participants will be selected based on the following criteria:

  1. Fit of research with the core themes of the Winter School
  2. Benefit of the Winter School for their ongoing research
  3. Motivation to reflect on emerging themes in earth system governance research

Please fill in the application form and send your application together with your CV to uc2018@earthsystemgovernance.org with “Winter School Application” in the subject line. The deadline for application is16 April 2018. Participants will be notified of acceptance by the end of April.
