FW: IAS Studentships 2024 Panel Outcome: Tackling challenges of Human and Environmental Health

by Gozde Ozakinci

Hello Sorry to be the bearer of not positive news on a Friday! Till is away so I thought I’d send a message to you all. Thank you all for your hard work on this cluster – I’m sorry that it was not rewarded. Maybe we should think about a Doctoral training centre application. Hope you all have a lovely weekend. Gozde Begin forwarded message: From: Institute for Advanced Studies <ias(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:ias@stir.ac.uk>> Subject: IAS Studentships 2024 Panel Outcome: Tackling challenges of Human and Environmental Health Date: 23 May 2024 at 11:56:17 CEST To: Till Stowasser <till.stowasser(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:till.stowasser@stir.ac.uk>> Cc: Iain Docherty <iain.docherty(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:iain.docherty@stir.ac.uk>>, Karen Sutherland <karen.sutherland1(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:karen.sutherland1@stir.ac.uk>> Dear Till, The IAS panel met on Tuesday 14 May to review the studentship cluster responses submitted in this year’s competition. The panel considered all aspects of the cluster proposal and student qualifications and experience in coming to its decisions. The standard of student applications was extremely high again and, like last year, we could have awarded the 16 studentships available several times over.   I am sorry to let you know that we were unable to fund your cluster in this studentship round. As last year, I would be more than happy to organise a 1-2-1 feedback session to explain more about our decisions. I should reiterate, though, that the competition was extremely tough and had more studentships been available then we would have been able to fund a wider range of projects.   With many thanks   Iain. ________________________________ Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159

During his visit, he will be available for meetings and research discussions. Tim is a leading expert in experimental economics, resource, and environmental economics.

I wondered if the talk below might be of interest to your colleagues at the Behavioural Science Centre at Stirling Uni? Best wishes, Marie From: Equity-sig <equity-sig-bounces(a)ehps.net<mailto:equity-sig-bounces@ehps.net>> On Behalf Of Julia Koller Sent: Friday, May 3, 2024 11:46 AM To: equity-sig(a)ehps.net<mailto:equity-sig@ehps.net> Subject: [EGHS-sig] Lunch talk by Prof. Gerhard Reese Dear SIG members, We would like to invite you to the upcoming lunch talk by Prof. Gerhard Reese: "From planetary to mental health - a multilevel approach". We would be very grateful if you could share the talk in your network/ on social media (please find all the necessary info below). All the best, Gudrun (Sproesser), Philipp (Kadel), Julia (Koller) ------------ Date: Thursday, 16 May 2024, 12 PM CEST Link: https://jku.zoom.us/j/98654797163?pwd=MjRTNEJFZ0ZwWFV6dWFNTHU3Z1dPUT09 Meeting-ID: 986 5479 7163 Passwort: 599320 Announcement text: Global environmental change exerts strong and primarily negative effects on human societies. Their effect on human health are wide ranging, and recent research suggests that the climate crisis in particular negatively affects mental health and well-being. In this talk, I address the links between planetary and mental health, suggesting how and under which conditions mental health is both affected by environmental crises, but also how mental health can contribute to understanding mitigation and adaptation efforts. Based on a review of stable evidence (i.e., reviews, meta-analysis), I suggest a multilevel model that seeks to integrate planetary and mental health and well-being.
