Early Careers Researchers' (ECR) Sustainability Training School
The University of Warwick welcomed its first cohort of early career researchers to its newly developed Sustainability Training School (warwick.ac.uk). The training school was created by the university’s Institute for Global Sustainable Development (warwick.ac.uk)in partnership with EUTOPIA (warwick.ac.uk), a university alliance that brings together 10 European universities, including GUILD, Monash Alliance and UN SDSN UK.
The ECR STS 1.0 pioneered a transdisciplinary way of training the next generation of scientists to work conjointly towards solving global planetary problems. This year’s focus was ‘Resilience and Sustainable Development’.
ECR STS - huge success!
Last week we had our first ever ECR Sustainability Training School at Warwick! It has been a huge success, thanks to all the support we had received and our participants!
The ECR STS brought together participants from 26 countries, of different age, religion, philosophy, and discipline - embodying the very spirit of future solutions to sustainable development for a more resilient world. The participants enjoyed a great hospitality that only Warwick can offer 😉, including the weather! They also shared their individual research, with in-depth feedback, and learned to work together through team-building skills and group projects. They were exposed to innovative methods, public and policy engagement; and enjoyed their sustainability trails, and engagement with sustainability champions and strategic partner-networks. Team IGSD - well done - you rock!
