Projects

A grant proposal entitled "Bridging the great Divide - Linking High-performance Modeling and Transition Experiments to Foster Transformational Change Towards Sustainability" has been recently accepted (15/09/2016). It includes, among other things, capacity for NEPS PhD exchanges and joint workshops, led by Leuphana University. Leuphana is currently offering Post-Doc positions for the project, unfortunately with a pretty close deadline  (though it might be extended). You can find the links to the job advertisements here.
