At this event you can form project groups to work on a proposal for an FSW Booster Grant Societal Transitions, Inequality and Diversity. We aim to inform you and facilitate meeting colleagues to work together.
Background
The Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences Vision and Strategy Plan 2022-2027 established the overarching theme ‘Societal Transitions, Inequality and Diversity' as one of the main themes in research, education, and societal engagement at the Faculty. Within this theme five urgent transitions have been identified in which FSW researchers can make a particularly valuable contribution:
- Climate change and sustainability (including sustainable energy)
- Citizenship & polarisation
- Digitalisation (AI, technology and nanotechnology)
- Migration & integration
- Erosion of democracy
Each of these transitions relates to the element of Inequality and Diversity. The faculty wishes to explore the interconnections between these transitions. For this reason, it is making available five booster grants. More information can be found here: Call FSW Booster Grant Societal Transitions, Inequality and Diversity.docx.
