We are excited to announce the 2024 CATER School<https://caterschools.net/2024-school>, the second instalment in our series of annual summer schools, as part of the CATER project on transdisciplinarity approaches to climate resilience research. CATER is led by a broad coalition of climate researchers and educators from Norway, South Africa, and France, with an aim of moving science into action and vice versa by developing immersive schools.
The application deadline is April 19th, 2024.
The CATER Schools programme is designed to create and nurture an environment where students, early-career researchers, lecturers, and practitioners across disciplines and sectors can together learn, discuss, and re-interpret the latest knowledge at the forefront of climate risk resilience research in sub-Saharan Africa. CATER aims to foster world-leading transdisciplinary cooperation for mutual learning between African and European/Western contexts, empowering participants to become confident leaders.
The second annual school will be held in Arusha, Tanzania, from October 21st to November 1st, 2024.
The programme invites applications from PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, early-career researchers, and practitioners (for instance, individuals affiliated with relevant government or NGO sectors, as well as the private sector) who are involved or have a vested interest in understanding and addressing climate risks, resilience, and proactive measures. Other applications (from Master’s students, for example) will be considered on an individual basis if there is space (admission is competitive). Our aim is to assemble a diverse, transdisciplinary group with a balanced representation from Africa and beyond, while maintaining gender equity.
