ESG Winter School for early career researchers in Utrecht Oct 31- Nov 4th

Format The Winter School will combine a series of highly stimulating lectures and dialogues on key themes in the new science agenda with interactive ‘writeshops’ focusing on participants’ work-in-progress. Lectures and dialogues: Lectures will be offered by senior researchers in the field and will focus on the five core themes of the new science agenda. We will have multiple lectures reflecting on these themes from different perspectives. Each set of lectures will be concluded with a dialogue with the speakers and audience. The lectures and dialogues will provide an opportunity to critically reflect on the new science agenda from multiple perspectives. Writeshops: The writeshops will focus on participants’ own work. The aim of the writeshops is to take the ideas from the science agenda forward into concrete projects and publications. We will work in small groups of people whose work addresses themes from the new science plan, combining short exercises with intensive writing and peer review sessions. At the end of the week, participants will have an improved piece of written work to take home.
