In collaboration with the University of Newcastle and University of Cardiff, we have developed a new postgraduate researcher network, ‘SPROUT PGR Sustainability Collective’ to enhance doctoral research. This network will bring together and support postgraduate researchers (PGRs), those pursuing a master's degree, and early career researchers (ECRs) who are interested in integrating sustainability into their research for greater impact.
The network is a legacy of ‘SustainaWHAT?!’ a series of events held during 2023 which connected PGRs to the sustainability agenda and facilitated a cross-institution PGR network for ongoing support and research informed by the Sustainable Development Goals.
The SPROUT PGR Sustainability Collective will launch in February 2024. We will be holding a programme of monthly online events which will:
- Provide opportunities for you to develop your understanding of sustainability within your research
- Increase awareness of sustainability’s contribution to employability and funding opportunities
- Provide collaborative opportunities for PGRs and ECRs to develop a range of competencies applicable to their own research and personal/professional contexts.
We’d love to welcome you to SPROUT PGR Sustainability Collective. If you are a Bournemouth University postgraduate researcher, please sign up for our first event on Tuesday 27 February via Eventbrite.
For any queries, please email [email protected].
