In December, the University of St. Gallen will host a PhD Winter School on addressing societal grand challenges through interdisciplinary research. This PhD seminar welcomes PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from any scientific discipline (including the natural sciences as well as the social sciences and the humanities) and from any university in Switzerland.

Since the seminar is supported by the SFOE through the SWEET programme, most of its case studies and examples are drawn from the energy transition, resource limits, and climate change. This makes it especially relevant for anyone working within a SWEET consortium, though scholars interested in other grand challenges (biodiversity loss, aging societies, structural inequalities, etc.) are just as welcome and can work on the topic of their choice.
