New Call for Participation - ESF Junior Summit "Water: Unite and Divide. Interdisciplinary approaches for a sustainable future"
The European Science Foundation (ESF) invites the next generation of leading scientists (‘early career researchers’) across the academic spectrum to participate in a four-day, in-depth discussion of the challenges and opportunities posed by inter (multi, trans) disciplinary research.
This event will take place in Stresa, Lago Maggiore, Italy, on 27-30 August 2012.
A group of a maximum of 36 early career researchers will be selected by open competition and invited to address both the multi-layered problems inherent in this kind of research and its possibilities. Discussions - that may focus on various issues related to the event’s general theme of “Water: Unite and Divide. Interdisciplinary approaches for a sustainable future” - will be fuelled by world-class experts from very different academic backgrounds.
Deadline for application is 30 April 2012, 12:00 (noon) CET
