Webinar | Gender & Equality in Climate and Urban Research

Monday 4 November 2024. 1.00 -2.30pm CET | via Online

C-NEWTRAL Doctoral Network, is a four year project funded through the prestigious Horizon Europe Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme. 12 Doctoral Candidates (DC’s) will conduct research on how to advance towards achieving climate-neutral cities from different dimensions (Urban Nature, Urban Mobility, Built Form, Energy, Circularity) through citizen engagement and decision-making support. An excellent team of academics from six European universities (UCD (the coordinating institution), UNIBO, UdG, UHEI, UH, QUB) is providing supervision along with industrial experts providing training to Doctoral Candidates.

As part of the C-NEWTRAL network training, online modules will be delivered on aspects specifically targeting DCs climate-neutral research. The first of of these sessions ‘Gender & Equality in Climate and Urban Research’ has been opened to all early career researchers as part of UCD Earth Institute research culture and EDI events programme for 2024-2025.
