Funding is available for early career researchers to take part in a pre-COP26 climate challenge workshop on ‘Delivering Battery Revolution: Reducing The Drivers of Climate Change in Indonesia’, to be held on 12-14 July 2021.

The aim of the Climate Challenge Workshop is to harness the power of people all over the world – particularly young people and those most vulnerable to the effects of climate change – to connect and collaborate through culture and education to combat climate change.

The workshop will explain the causes and the role that Indonesia has on climate change, locally and globally, across different economic sectors, as well as the social and economic impact that climate change will have on Indonesia.

Expressions of interest are invited to join a pre-workshop networking session at the end of May, which will enable attendees to form interdisciplinary and international teams to bid for 'Research Prizes' of up to £8,000 in the area of climate change, batteries and energy production/usage in Indonesia.

There is also an opportunity to submit an abstract to present at the workshop, and there will be 'Dissemination Awards' for those that give the best talks, to be used to present at an international climate change conference later in the year.

If you are an early career researcher who is interested in the funding and taking part, please register your interest by 20 May.
