Points gotten from the elevator talks:
- Close involvement of about 21 ECR participants (Master, PhD candidate, Post Doc) from natural and social science background: (engineering, economic, social science) within Future Earth concept and sustainable development in the world.
(Future Earth supports innovation and startups in climate innovation, Future Earth work for sustainability issues worldwide, KANS topics are interesting, Future Earth is linked to SDGs …)
Discussed points:
*/ ECR Future Earth German Community:
Open scientific community of early career engaged with inter-trans-disciplinarity solutions in Germany. More information about the community activities can be found here.
*/ Opportunities for ECR offered by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG in order to promote ECR activities:
The DFG promotes fundamental and basic research in Germany : PhD, Post-Doc, University Assistant by fellowships and many scholarships programs.
DFG offers through fellowship programs the opportunity to bring together early career for collective projects, workshops …
Emmy Noether Program is open to international candidates and activities in cooperation with German Institutions.
” The Emmy Noether Programme supports researchers in achieving independence at an early stage of their scientific careers. Postdocs gain the qualifications required for a university teaching career during a DFG-funded period, usually lasting five years, in which they lead their own independent junior research group.”
