Strategies for Sustainable Development in Megacities and Urban Agglomerations
A Helmholtz Research Initiative 2007 - 2011
Training of young scientists
The interdisciplinary, international and intercultural nature of the research initiative creates unique opportunities and challenges for the capacity-building of young researchers. The initiative shows a strong commitment to academic formation and will utilise the network of researchers and institutions involved for this purpose. Risk Habitat Megacity contains several instruments for the integration of PhD candidates at the overall programme level as well as the topic level at which young scientists will be working. This includes fellowships in the various partner institutions.
