CiT2019: Climate in Transition: An Interdisciplinary Interrogation of Global Environmental Change Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) Bellaterra, Spain, April 29-30, 2019 |
Submission link | https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cit2019 |
Submission deadline | March 27, 2019 |
The aim of this workshop is to encourage interdisciplinary debate about the role of transitions in responding to climate change and to facilitate cross-disciplinary learning. Many conferences focus on the communication of completed research, with few opportunities for critical debate on research directions and objectives. We are seeking to encourage critical debate on transitions thinking from many disciplinary perspectives and to facilitate international dialogue, collaboration and mentoring. At the end of the two days we anticipate that the debate will lead to new research collaborations.
We invite researchers from all disciplines interested in transition debates to join us for a two-day workshop (29 - 30 April 2019). Prominent international researchers will introduce participants to transition-related concepts, case studies and debates. Thematic discussions will allow participants to interact with experts from different disciplines, create a network of contacts and contribute insights about the role of transitions in their field.
Expressions of Interest: Submission Guidelines
Researchers are invited to submit an expression of interest of a maximum of 200 words outlining: why they are interested in attending, what they believe the key questions are for transitions research, and why they would benefit from participating. We welcome researchers from all disciplines (from social to natural sciences and engineering).
Deadline submission expression of interest: 27 March
Participants will be notified by: 29 March
