Climate resilient researchers: essential skills to work with wicked problems

8th March 2023

Online

There is growing recognition of the need to re-think how we undertake adaptation and resilience research to urgently address the shifting challenges of climate change and climate variability. The ACU believes that inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches are needed to inform vital research on climate change. 

Join us for one of two collaborative and interactive online sessions to critically explore some of these research approaches. Everyone interested in this type of research is encouraged to attend, especially those in the early stages of their academic careers, as well as those who want to share their experience with the next generation of researchers.

These sessions will aim to:

  • Explore the range of resilience and adaptation research being undertaken  
  • Highlight the obvious and less obvious competencies needed to do this work
  • Create connections and establish partnerships between early-career researchers
  • Add to the adaptation research community

We will be running two virtual events on two consecutive days, with the aim of making the events accessible to attendees in multiple time zones.
