RECRUITMENT OF 15 MARIE SKLODOWSKA-CURIE ESR FELLOWS
Institution Type: | Other |
Location: | Germany |
Position: | Doctoral Fellow, Fellow |
Overview
RECOMS is a Marie Sklodowska Curie (MSCA) Innovative Training Network funded by the European Commission (2018–2022). RECOMS is comprised of a transdisciplinary consortium of scientists, practitioners, and change agents from eleven public, private, and nonprofit organizations, located in six European Union countries: Austria, Belgium, England, Finland, Germany, and The Netherlands.
The purpose of RECOMS is to train 15 ESRs (doctoral candidates) in innovative, transdisciplinary, and transformative approaches to promoting and facilitating resourceful and resilient community environmental practice. By delivering an advanced program of training in both scientific and professional skills, RECOMS will enable ESRs to pursue an academic career or high-level professional career in the public, private, or third sector (e.g., government, university, NGO, consultancy, business or charitable body).
RECOMS ESRs will be supervised both by academic and nonacademic partners and will be encouraged to critically, practically, and creatively explore the contribution of and relationships between their individual doctoral study projects across three interconnecting research themes:
- Empowering and unlocking the potential of vulnerable communities to become more resourceful.
- Strengthening the adaptive and transformative capacity of local groups through resourceful environmental practice as critical to building community resilience.
- Encouraging a more just and inclusive approach to stimulating community resourcefulness by nurturing broader participation in resourceful environmental practices.
