[Scholarship offered for this program]
—— for PhD only ——
The goal of the YRS is to provide graduate students with an opportunity to better understand the spectrum of challenges that underpin sustainable development. By assembling young researchers from ProSPER.Net institutions for an intensive 10-day programme, the school also fosters the growth of a network of sustainability scholars and professionals in the Asia-Pacific region.
The theme of the 2017 school will be ‘Water Security for Sustainable Development in a Changing Climate’. A preliminary programme outlines the ways in which students will be exposed to issues related to water security in the context of climate change. Students will then be asked to develop research responses to several challenges related to water security in the region. The goal of these responses is to provide integrative solutions that can be applied in communities facing water security issues.
