The ESRC STEPS Centre is inviting applications to participate in its 2017 Summer School, which will take place on 15-26 May.
Applications are invited from highly-motivated doctoral and postdoctoral researchers or those with equivalent experience, working in the fields of development studies, science and technology studies, innovation and policy studies, and across agricultural, health, water or energy issues.
Participants explore the theme of pathways to sustainability through a mixture of workshops, lectures, outdoor events and focused interaction with STEPS Centre members.
The Summer School takes place at IDS on the Sussex University campus, near Brighton, UK. The deadline for applications is 17.00 GMT on 29 January 2017. There is a fee to attend, but scholarships are available.
For the online application form, programme information and materials from previous events, visit the STEPS Centre website.
