Delighted to see the birth of a Warwick's stellar team led by Jonathan Clarke (Warwick GSD-SCFS) and Raquel Nunes (Warwick Medical School), both IGSD Thematic Fellows, working together to create synergies between IGSD, Economics, Education Studies, WBS, Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies, Estates at Warwick and external stakeholders in their multi-million UKRI bid for 'health co-benefits of the transition to next zero'. The effort of their team has been stupendous, and the RIS support - Aidan, Alan, India and Andina - as always, unparalleled! Good LUCK, and sincere best wishesto you all!

Dr Bo Kelestyn (Associate Professor, WBS, and IGSD Thematic Fellow) and Professor Gwen van der Velden (Professor of Education) were recognised for their brilliant ‘Ukrainian Summer School’ project, and received the October WOW award! Heart-felt congratulations to them both, and look forward to with Bo and Gwen- both as part of the Ukraine Working Group and IGSD ECR STS!

We are delighted to report the news about hiring a new (interim) IGSD Manager, Ms Emellyne Forman, who has accepted the position. Congratulations to Em on her successful interview, and welcome to the IGSD team!

Prof. Elena Korosteleva has been awarded Policy Support Impact (PSF) funding to connect her Oxford Belarus Observatory work with Warwick's Ukraine-Belarus hub (WUB-hub). The project will focus on the topical issues in the relations between the two peoples, in the context of the ongoing Russia's war against Ukraine. The project will run webinars, podcasts, policy briefs, workshops and a conference in the summer 2024, and prepare the ground for a large bid. Watch the space! Elena is grateful for the support of Rachael Kirwan and RIS in designing this project.

In line with our ‘Way to Sustainable’ strategy, this report provides case studies under the headings of Research, Education, Operations and Engagement, however much of our activity spans these categories. Meeting the SDGs is by nature a collaborative effort, and we are proud of our University community stepping up to play their part.

As part of the report you can also read about IGSD researchers' effort to contribute to sustainable development. E.g. you can find information there about Heri's and Feng's research, and a wider reference to all our projects.
