PhD course Transformative Research for Sustainability Challenges

About

Participants are guided through a process designed to surface and examine fundamental assumptions that underpin their research approaches to inspire future trajectories both within and beyond their PhD.

This course is taught by a range of scholars in Utrecht University (UU), University of Twente (UT), Wageningen University & Research (WUR), and Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC), who will guide students through critical concepts, methodological innovations, and tricky dilemmas that have challenged and enabled their own work. The course content focuses on four main aspects of transformative research identified in the 71 Visions Report. This course has run three times before and received an Education Innovation Award in 2021. It is supported by Utrecht Summer School, WIMEK, EWUU Alliance, and Urban Futures Studio, Utrecht University.
