GRADE Initiative "Interdisciplinary Dialogue and Collaboration on Climate Change"

Thematic Focus

The main goal of the Initiative is to foster dialogue between early career researchers working on topics in the wider field of climate change. The Initiative is open to all disciplinary approaches and all early career researchers (PhDs, Postdocs) affiliated with Goethe University or any other research institution in Frankfurt.

Planned Projects

Internal dialogue is fostered via internal workshops in which participants present and discuss their work. Internal dialogue aims at getting to know both a) the others' specific question, approach and results as well as b) the others' discipline-specific way of thinking about the wider topic of climate change.

External dialogue is fostered via the organisation of speaker series. External speakers from specific subfields will share their disciplines' approch to thinking about the topic. External speakers who have themselves collaborated on the topic in an interdisciplinary fashion will share their challenges and best practises.
