"Solutions for Green and Digital Transition" (UTU-GreDiT), led by
University of Turku (UTU), Finland, is a unique COFUND doctoral training
project that aims to train the experts required to deliver transformative
change towards sustainable societies, with skills and knowledge to operate
across sectors. We are currently witnessing a major global ecological
crisis challenging the living conditions on the Earth. Climate change
and biodiversity losses have caused over euro 145 billion in economic
losses in the EU over the past decade, in addition to inestimable
human costs. The crisis increasingly threatens food, water and energy
security in Europe and globally, resulting in serious socio-economic
challenges. Transformative change is urgently needed. Interdisciplinary
research and education in Green and Digital Transition provide a key
means of addressing these complex crises by catalysing change towards
sustainable socio-economic growth. UTU-GreDiT is co-funded by European
Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme's Marie
Sk³odowska-Curie Action.
We are offering 25 fully-paid four-year doctoral researchers'
positions. UTU-GreDiT research groups include expertise from
biodiversity research, biochemistry, biology, geography, geology,
computer science, information and communication technology, management and
organization, materials engineering, molecular plant biology, sustainable
biotechnological processes. UTU-GreDiT integrates the well-established
cutting-edge research infrastructures and experienced supervisors of UTU
to UTU-GreDiT doctoral researchers. The UTU-GreDiT postgraduate studies
include courses on the research topic as well as studies on transferable
skills, networking and mobility in the form of secondment(s) in partner
organisations.
