2018 has been a groundbreaking year for GLOBUS, the School for Cross-Faculty Studies’ partner online publication, run by our students. We are proud to share some numbers that we have received from the GLOBUS team:

"- In 2018, GLOBUS published articles amounting to more than half the length of the average PhD dissertation (41,517 words, to be precise!), spread across thirty-five articles that have reached audiences in nearly two-thirds of the world’s nations (125 of 195!).

- 20% of the year’s publications involved, one way or another, collaboration (or direct writing from!) with staff from Global Sustainable Development and Liberal Arts.

- GLOBUS now counts thirty dedicated members spread across every single Faculty of the university, with new members being added every week.

- GLOBUS has exceeded targets on all fronts, moving from the start of 2019 to a regular, thrice-weekly publishing process, with expansion to four a medium-term target well on the way to being bet.

- In 2019, GLOBUS is targeting further expansion of its teams and more ambitious collaborations with other societies and groups at the university – starting with the university-wide ‘PROJECT: Climate Emergency’ being run in collaboration with the Climate Reality Campus Corps and GSD Society, which launched on 13th January.

- In the slightly longer term, plans are in the works for a simulated Conference of Parties climate negotiation (the ‘Warwick Climate Negotiating Forum’) open to all Warwick students in term one of next academic year."
