Collegio Futuro 4eu+

As a joint interdisciplinary PhD collegio of the 4EU+ member universities, Collegio Futuro seeks to foster the skills that are essential for tackling our urgent environmental, economic and societal challenges for major planetary problems, such as climate change and biodiversity loss. Participants will work in multidisciplinary groups to develop solutions for hands on environmental issues with the goal of practicing a policy brief drafting. They will have an opportunity to exchange with their peers and examine the chosen problem from different perspectives. They will engage in discussions with scientists and practitioners in order to identify and propose feasible solutions to given problems. Altogether, the participants will engage in activities that will enable them to expand their network, generate impulses for new projects and improve their competences in science communication to the society. At the end of the Course, the students will ask to produce a report.Apply the acquired knowledge holistically to discuss a case study and design a possible experiment to assess soil health in a forest ecosystem and the potential effects of management practices.
