Sustainability fika

We welcome all researchers with an interest in sustainability and Agenda 2030 to digital fika. The sustainability fika brings together researchers with an interest in environmental, social, and economic sustainability. The point of departure is an inclusive understanding of sustainability with a critical approach. The intention is to exchange knowledge and identify common interests across disciplines.

The digital fika takes place the second Wednesday each month at 15:15.

GSA-GIO PHD SESSION: RESEARCH AND INNOVATION FUNDING

The session will cover the Swedish and European research and innovation funding landscape, together with information on specific postdoctoral funding calls (such as Marie Curie Fellowships) and sources to cover travel costs during the PhD. It will also highlight the importance of effective research communication and during the session participants will create, deliver and receive feedback on one-minute pitches based on their doctoral research.

The session will be held in room 1E 425 on 28 May (09.00 -12.00) and participants are asked to register by 21 May via this form.

IMPACT AND THE UTILISATION OF RESEARCH (4.5 HP)

This online course trains PhD students to communicate the value of their research to non-specialists and to collaborate more effectively with non-academic partners. Its focus is on developing a research pitch, with supplementary content on funding policy, licensing options and real-world examples of researchers collaborating with public and private actors.

The 2024 course will be delivered in the autumn term and is open for registration until 3 June. Further details can be found here.
