The IPWSD provides a forum for young researchers working at the intersection between human development and the environment to present, receive feedback on, and discuss their research work. It also aims to foster a network among students pursuing research across disciplines generating a broader interdisciplinary dialogue around sustainable development.

The workshop is targeted at PhD candidates. Presentations are expected to last 20 minutes and will be followed by a 5-minute discussant presentation, and 10 minutes of questions. Additionally, each presenter is expected to act as a discussant for another presentation that aligns most closely with their own research interests.

Topics: 

  • Climate change Natural resource management Health and labor
  • Ecosystem dynamics
