Human Dimensions Programme: Grants for attendance at Amsterdam
Conference on Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change (May 2007)
The newly formed UK Human Dimensions Committee is
pleased to announce the availability of funds to support participation of new
and early career UK researchers at the 2007 Amsterdam conference on the Human
Dimensions of Global Environmental Change, to be held in Amsterdam on 24-26 May
2007
http://www.2007amsterdamconference.org/
This conference will be the seventh event in the series
of annual European Conferences on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental
Change. This year's discussions will address the theme 'Earth System Governance:
Theories and Strategies for Sustainability'.
The conference is endorsed by the International Human Dimensions
Programme (IHDP) on Global Environmental Change. The funds have been made available by ESRC
to encourage UK participation in international human dimensions research and to
contribute to the training and skills of early career researchers.
Priority will be given to early career researchers
(doctoral students, postdocs, recently appointed faculty) who are presenting a
paper at the conference or who make a strong case for how attendance at the
conference will contribute to their professional development.
Grants of up to 500 pounds will be
available to cover conference registration, travel and accommodation.
Those not presenting a paper will be asked
to submit a short report (2 pages) on aspects of the conference for circulation
to UK human dimensions researchers. You should be planning to attend the whole
conference and acknowledge ESRC support in any paper resulting from the
conference.
(Please note that there is
a Marie Curie student summer school being organized in conjunction with the
conference and you may request the small supplement needed to attend that
programme

According to ESRC guidelines applicants should be
employed by a UK higher education institution (or other institution eligible for
ESRC funding) or be a postgraduate meeting UK residential criteria for research
council studentships
The funds are being administered for the newly formed
UK Human Dimensions Committee by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change (UEA and
Oxford nodes). The UK Human Dimensions Committee has been established to support
interdisciplinary social science research on global environmental change in the
UK and to serve as a point of contact to international research programs,
especially those of the International Human Dimensions Programme (
http://www.ihdp.uni-bonn.de/).
For more information on the UK committee
please contact the interim co-chairs (Ken Green, Sarah Cornell, David Simon

(Sue King, Environmental Change Institute, Oxford
University, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3QY) by January 26th 2007. Successful applicants will be informed on
the 31 January in time to obtain the lower early registration fee for the
conference (deadline Feb 1 2007).
