PhD-students, who are accepted at a department, are welcome to apply for enrollment in the Resilience Research School and take part of its resources — supervision, work  office, courses, workshops, seminars, networks, funds etc.

Join the Resilience Research School

The school will contribute building the next generation of trans-disciplinary thinkers and doers on social-ecological resilience and sustainable development.

The training provided by the research school includes understanding of ecosystem dynamics as well as management, multilevel governance, and the capacity of interdependent social and ecological systems to adapt to and transform in the face of change. These are all characteristics of resilience in social-ecological systems.

The Resilience Research School offers a few PhD courses on a regular basis as well as a collection of ad hoc courses.

Regular courses:
Linking resilience theory to research questions and design
This course discusses critical issues concerning resilience in
social-ecological systems. Students suggest methods and
write a research proposal.

Research on social-ecological systems
The idea of this course is learning how to do research by doing it: a research task will be performed with a group article as expected output.

Ad hoc courses (examples):
Complex Adaptive Systems
Cross-discipline conceptual discussion on system identity, adaptive processes, feedbacks and network theory.

Innovation and transformations in social-ecological systems
This course focuses on how to steer away from undesired regimes and transform social-ecological systems into new improved trajectories that sustain and enhance ecosystem services and human wellbeing.
