At the invitation of John Smith Trust, Professor Elena Korosteleva and Dr Tatsiana Chulitskaya (WUB-hub) were invited to train the first cohort of the Future Leaders from Belarus in Oxford. This was a great opportunity to establish professional connections, and to offer feedback to the Action Plans of the JST Fellows. They are invited to be part of the WUB-hub conference on 28 June 2024, held in Europe House, with high-level policy, academic & practitioner stakeholders. The JST & IGSD will work together on developing a bespoke training programme for the future JST fellows at Warwick.

Kanishka joined us at Scarman in June 2023 for our Sustainability Training SchoolLink opens in a new window and gave an innovative plenary to our successful early career researcher closing the week for our cohort. We hope to welcome Kanishka again to speak and inspire the cohort at our training school in April 2024.

Celebrating Impact once again @uniofwarwick! Impact Newsletter Summer 2023 reminded us that @IGSD_UoW makes a strong impact across the board: Warm congrats to Dr Vangelis Pitidis once again for making a difference in the world as an Early Career Researcher!

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’.

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!
