Early Career Researchers’ Events / Summer School in conjunction with annual Earth System Governance open science conferences

Early career researchers’ events seek to build individual and collaborative capacity among early career researchers (ECRs) to engage with the challenges of earth system governance research. These events are opportunities for ECRs to network prior to the annual landmark conferences of the Project, and to discuss conceptual, methodological and capacity aspects of earth system governance research, including identifying common research interests and future collaboration possibilities. The events’ keynote addresses from thought leaders in the field of earth system governance and discussion sessions are aimed at creating interactive opportunities for ECRs to engage with each other and with senior faculty within the Earth System Governance network.

• Early Career Researchers Workshop, 6 December 2016, Nairobi, Kenya
• Earth System Governance Summer School, 9 – 12 December 2015, Canberra, Australia.
• Early Career Researchers Workshop, 30 June 2014, Norwich, UK.
• Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research’s Capacity Development Agenda (APN CAPaBLE) Conference Grant: “Exploring Effective Architecture for Emerging Agencies in International Environmental Governance”, 28 – 31 January 2013. This grant facilitated young and developing country participation from Asia-Pacific countries (APCs) in the Earth System Governance Tokyo conference.

In addition, some of the Marie Curie Training Courses were organised back to back with the annual Earth System Governance open science conferences and served as early career researchers’ events/ summer schools. More details on these courses can be found in a separate section.
