Joint Research Institutes
Innerhalb der europäischen Hochschulallianz EU-CONEXUS bündeln vier Joint Research Institutes die Forschungsaktivitäten im Bereich Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability (SmUCS):
- Life Sciences and Biotechnology Institute
- Environmental Sciences and Biodiversity Institute
- Coastal Engineering Institute
- Social, Culture and Human Sciences Institute
Den Joint Research Institutes sind verschiedene Formate zur Vernetzung und Sichtbarkeit von Forschung zugeordnet, darunter insbesondere JRI-Seminare, Workshops und Joint Research Challenge Workshops.
Weitere Informationen zu den Joint Research Institutes finden Sie auf der EU-CONEXUS Webseite →
JRI Seminare
Die EU-CONEXUS JRI-Seminare sind kurze Online-Vorträge (max. 1 Stunde), bei denen Forschende ihre aktuellen Projekte, Ergebnisse oder Methoden vorstellen. Ziel ist es, den Austausch und die Vernetzung zwischen Wissenschaftler*innen im Bereich Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability zu fördern - also zu Themen rund um nachhaltige Entwicklung in städtischen und küstennahen Regionen.
Für wen sind sie gedacht?
Für Forschende, Doktorand*innen und Masterstudierende innerhalb von EU-CONEXUS und darüber hinaus, die an Küsten- und Nachhaltigkeitsthemen interessiert sind.
Wozu sind sie gut?
- Um Forschungsideen zu teilen und Feedback zu erhalten
- Um Kooperationen anzustoßen
- Um neue Technologien, Methoden oder Publikationen kennenzulernen
